We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Dr. Dennis Harken, a founding member of the MCIU Education Foundation.

Dr. Harken's vision, dedication, and unwavering commitment to expanding educational opportunities helped shape the Foundation’s mission and impact across Montgomery County. His legacy lives on in the countless students and communities who have benefited from his work.

We are incredibly grateful to all who have honored Dr. Harken's memory through donations and messages of support. Your generosity is a meaningful tribute to his life and the values he championed.

Please join us in remembering Denis and extending our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of working alongside him.

We’re excited to share that Bethlehem Center School District is the recipient of a grant that supports Pennsylvania’s Chief Science Officers (CSO) Program, made possible through our partnership with Lockheed Martin!

This funding helps bring meaningful, hands-on STEM experiences to life, just like this amazing “Stars, Stories, and Snacks” collaboration.

We are proud to support opportunities like this and cannot wait to see all the projects our CSOs have made all throughout Pennsylvania.
