Our Mission

The West Platte Education Foundation makes scholarships possible for graduating seniors of West Platte High School. At present, all contributions are placed in a single general scholarship fund. However, future plans call for a series of both annual and endowed scholarships underwritten by donors. If you are interested in helping to set up a particular annual or endowed scholarship, please contact the Foundation, the Superintendent, or the High School Principal.

The West Platte Education Foundation offers grants to district teachers for the purpose of
promoting the diversity of their professional experiences and encouraging a well-rounded
education. Teachers will gain from the personal growth obtained through these programs and
will be better able to pass along the excitement of learning to their students.

These student grants are designed to support West Platte School District students who have demonstrated academic ability and perseverance in their continuing educational pursuits. The grants are open to all grade levels. The grants may be used for offsetting tuition/fees at a large variety of special campus or other learning events. Examples would include camps for music, science, fine arts, geography, etc.

Gifts to S.O.S. (Support our Students) help students who may be from families who struggle financially. The donations are used to purchase appropriate school supplies for these students. The S.O.S. funds are used for students in all grades. The Foundation works closely with the school counselors and district representatives to make sure the funds get distributed to students who need assistance.
