Watauga Education Foundation

The Watauga Education Foundation has been working to support our teachers and enhance learning in the classroom for more than 15 years. We do this by raising funds for projects not funded through regular state or local budgets - worthwhile projects that introduce and reinforce arts and enrichment activities to our children, improve graduation rates, and increase community participation in each of our public schools.
