Wayne Community Schools Foundation

WCS Foundation supports “Learning for Life” by working with the school district, alumni, and the community to provide financial support for students.

The purpose of the Wayne Community Schools Foundation is to solicit, manage, and distribute supplemental funds for educational purposes that may not be funded by the District. Funding is supplemental and does not replace or alter use of tax-based revenue. The Wayne Community Schools Foundation also exists to enhance the interaction of Wayne Community Schools’ alumni and friends with the school district.
