Wasatch Education Foundation

In July of 2019, the Wasatch Education Foundation (WEF) was re-established as an arm of the Wasatch County School District to ensure the Foundation's activities and efforts best aligned with the Mission and Vision of the District.  

At that time, WEF’s Board of Directors established a new and more relevant Mission, which is:

Engaging community and corporate partners in providing supplemental resources to the Wasatch County School District to improve educational outcomes

Some of the activities of the Foundation include: 

• Funding and awarding more than $250,000 in scholarships to 150+ graduating seniors annually
• Funding for the Kati Fischer Teacher of the Year program 
• Bringing the Wasatch Parent Network under the WEF umbrella to help facilitate their reinvention this year and support their financial stabilization and growth 
• Supporting student food programs 
• Providing a fundraising platform for WPN, athletics and activities 

As we grow, we’re excited to help support additional programs that contribute to student achievement and support our staff, including the “Brighter Futures” program (a mentor program for first-generation, college-bound WHS students), the Family Education Center, the Gary and Nadine Turner Fund for New Teachers, and Emergence Art Contest, among others.
