Our History & Mission
Mission
To promote academic excellence in the Fort Mill School District of York County, SC through direct financial support of projects, activities, educational assistance and professional development.
History
As tireless advocate for public education, TEC Dowling (Fort Mill School District 4 Superintendent 1997-2005) played a key role in the establishment of the Foundation for Fort Mill Schools. As a result, a diverse group of business people, civic leaders and educators - committed to furthering educational excellence in the Fort Mill School District - created the Foundation for Fort Mill Schools receiving 501 (c) (3) status on November 4, 2003.
2008 marked the Foundation for Fort Mill School's fifth anniversary having awarded $13,000 in grant to teachers for Innovative Classroom Projects and $24,150 in college scholarships to high school seniors.
As the Foundation grows, we will continue supporting our teachers and students and look forward to furthering our mission - promoting excellence in education - in the future.
