supporting academics
Clear Creek Schools Foundation raises awareness & funds for academic needs in the district, in alignment with the Clear Creek School District strategic plan.
The Need
Current school funding does not provide for career-connected experiences, nor hands-on engaging learning opportunities, nor rich professional learning to support sustainable educator changes to pedagogy. State funding is insufficient. Clear Creek Booster Club has a distinct and important role in funding sports, clubs, and activities like after-prom and homecoming. 4A & 4B will support capital projects and compensation to attract and retain staff.
Despite all of this amazing support, we have a gap in funding important academic programs. That is why we created Clear Creek Schools Foundation.
