History of the Deer Creek Schools Foundation:

In 1980 a group of Deer Creek patrons felt there was a need for private financial support from the Deer Creek School District. This was partly in response to the lack of a significant commercial/industrial tax base within the school district. Although Deer Creek is a fast-growing school district, it is not a city with a large sales tax base. This resulted in the formation of the Deer Creek Schools Foundation and its endowment.

Since that time, the Foundation’s primary mission has been to fund special academic projects, classroom support requests from teachers, and any other opportunities to support all Deer Creek students and teachers in our district. The Deer Creek Schools Foundation's mission is to build strong community support and help advance excellence for Deer Creek Schools.

This is accomplished primarily by Deer Creek patrons supporting the Foundation through contributions, event sponsorships, bequests and estate gifts, and scholarship donations. The Foundation is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization and donations are tax-deductible, as allowed by law.
