Clear Creek Schools Foundation Innovation Grants were created to support engaging and community connected experiences for students. The grants support Clear Creek School District's priorities of Best Educators, Empowered Students, and Visionary District and are partially funded by King Soopers rewards. 

• Educator* grants support the development of Learner Profile skills: leadership, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, adaptability, and character. *All district employees are educators.

• Student grants support ideas and interests, and the development of Learner Profile skills.

Clear Creek School District attracts and retains the best educators by nurturing a professional culture of respect, learning, and collaboration. Clear Creek Schools Foundation supports educators with Innovation Grants, to support creative ideas that enhance student learning experiences. 

Clear Creek students are empowered to learn in ways that are relevant, engaging, and connected to their community, preparing them for their future with hope and confidence. Clear Creek Schools Foundation supports this by helping ensure access to additional learning opportunities for students beyond the District’s capacity.

The School District is known as an excellent choice for mountain families with a reputation for innovation, strong community connections, and exceptional learning experiences for all students. Clear Creek Schools Foundation helps to foster community through communications, events, and partnerships. The Foundation plays the important role of bringing awareness and fundraising to infuse schools with immediate opportunities while sustaining transformation into the future.
