These funds have allowed us to construct new schools, expand and renovate existing ones, build necessary support facilities, purchase buses (to include electronic buses), and enhance our technology infrastructure. The Clayton County Public Schools Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, stands as a key philanthropic partner in nurturing student success. The Foundation’s strategic investments, including scholarships, support innovative educational projects and provide essential classroom resources.These initiatives ensure our teachers can enrich the learning experience, helping every student realize their academic potential. Beyond school support, the Foundation allocates funds to nonprofit organizations that support our students and advocate for their needs and interests. Through partnerships and economic development investments, CCPS Foundation prepares students for the workforce and creates advancement opportunities that contribute to the community’s growth. CCPS continues to excel as a district dedicated to student success, employee excellence, and community partnership, cultivating a vibrant and dynamic environment where every student has the tools and support to thrive.
