About us
For more than 30 years, the Public Education Foundation has brought the community together to support our public schools. In partnership with the Clark County School District and districts across the state of Nevada, we help guide effective investments in education to meet immediate, critical needs of our students, families, and educators. Together, we are driving public education forward. Thanks to our many community partners, we work to ensure every public school student can succeed through the following programs: Scholarships Plus provided $5 million in college scholarships this year to help students pursue their dreams of attending college or vocational school. The PEF Teacher Superstore (formerly the Teacher EXCHANGE) provides school supplies to teachers to reduce their out-of-pocket expenses. These supplies are then passed along to students who often can’t afford them. Teacher Pathway recruits, supports, and retains local diverse, qualified individuals committed to a teaching career in CCSD. This “grow your own” teacher training program focuses on addressing Clark County’s chronic teacher shortage. Family Learning Program utilizes national best practices to empower families to more effectively support their child's learning at school and strengthen life skills that help disrupt generational poverty. Artists With Kids inspires CCSD students to express their creativity and foster a lifelong engagement in the arts by creating experiences that connect them with community artists. Building on the successes of the past 30 years, PEF is continuing its collaboration with community organizations dedicated to improving public education and introducing new programs to address the greatest needs of our public schools.
