Celebrating a Year of Impact: 2024–2025 RCPS Foundation Year in Review
As the school year comes to a close, the Rockdale County Public Schools Foundation is proud to reflect on another impactful year of supporting students, educators, and school communities across Rockdale County.
Since our founding in 1988, the Foundation has worked hand-in-hand with the school district and community partners to enhance public education. This year, our efforts reached new heights through a range of programs, grants, and recognitions:
🔹 Staff Recognition: For the first time, the Foundation supported the district-wide presentation of Years of Service pins, honoring the dedication of RCPS staff members across all schools and departments.
🔹 Teacher of the Year Program: We proudly supported this annual celebration of excellence in education, recognizing outstanding teachers who go above and beyond in our classrooms.
🔹 Foundation Classroom Grants: In our 11th year of funding classroom innovation, we awarded 24 grants to educators bringing creative, student-centered projects to life.
🔹 REACH Georgia Scholarships: We welcomed the 8th cohort of REACH Scholars, awarding life-changing scholarships to four 8th-grade students as part of this powerful state initiative.
🔹 Senior Scholarships: We celebrated student achievement by awarding 11 Collins Family Scholarships, one Superintendent’s Scholarship, and our RCPS Foundation Scholarships to deserving graduates.
🔹 Leadership Support: The Foundation sponsored the popular coffee bar at the RCPS Leadership Summit, fueling conversations around leadership, happiness, and growth.
These initiatives are made possible by the generous support of our donors, sponsors, and community partners. As we look ahead, we remain committed to our mission: to fund innovation, reward achievement, and advocate for public education in Rockdale County.
