Lake Worth Education Foundation
The foundation began in 2014 with two primary goals: funding teacher grant awards that seek new and innovative teaching programs and recognizing student academic excellence.
In 2018, the Lake Worth Education Foundation funded the first annual teacher grant awards, which support innovative educational programs that enrich learning opportunities for students in Lake Worth ISD. Also beginning in 2018, the foundation began its annual Casino Night fundraiser, our signature fundraising event each year.
Starting in 2020, the foundation hosted the first Top Scholar’s Banquet, where we celebrated the achievement of the top ten graduating seniors with the highest academic scores.
Foundation History
In 2014, a group of concerned citizens and businesspeople met with leaders of Lake Worth ISD with the intent of providing meaningful support for the teaching staff and improving academic excellence for students within the district. The district faced multiple challenges, such as a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Their goals were to provide teachers with better tools to enrich student learning opportunities, recognize student academic excellence, and to better connect the community with the efforts of the district to improve student outcomes.
