Foundation 15 is committed to providing college  or trade scholarships to graduating high school seniors.  We believe that every student should have the opportunity to pursue their educational goals, regardless of their financial situation. Our mission is to empower students by reducing the financial burden of higher education and creating pathways for success. We work closely with local schools and organizations to identify students who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership skills, and community involvement.

Foundation 15 began in 1993, by a group of parents and community members.
Since its start, the committee has managed and grown the scholarship fund to over
$175,000. Each year between 17-20 scholarships are given, and in 2023, year the amount for scholarships
has risen to over $1000 each.

district staff. The current members are:
President- Dr Brian Opp
Vice President- Josh Fischer
Secretary-Karyn Perry
