In 1988 a group of forward-thinking community leaders began a movement
to provide better educational opportunities for the children of
Claremore. Today the Claremore Public Schools Foundation continues
the mission set forth a generation ago: to enrich the quality of
education in Claremore Public Schools.
As of May 2011, CPSF has given over $1,136,000 to
teachers and schools for materials, equipment, field trips, and a host
of other special projects that enhance the learning environment for the
children in Claremore schools. Foundation grants help make
learning fun and teaching a joy. They touch virtually every child
in the district.
The Foundation gives grants to individual teachers and
to school sites, administers the Bluejacket Memorial Scholarship,
provides special programs that enhance the learning process and creates
community awareness for Claremore Public Schools.
Claremore is not just a small town in Northeastern
Oklahoma. Our community is reaching around the world through
technology and our children will be competing in that world economy when
they graduate from Claremore High School. A meaningful
education is more important now than it has ever been.
As a private, non-profit organization, the CPSF depends
on the contributions of individuals and corporate donors to fund its
programs. Our donors do not just impact the children of Claremore, but
also the entire community by providing a better future for all of its
citizens.
