The Warrick Public Education Foundation strongly believes that "Learning through imagination takes more than just brainpower." Incorporated in 1990, the WPEF operates as a 501 (c) (3) philanthropic organization to enhance education by supporting imaginative programs and projects. It is a non-profit broadly-based partnership in education established to encourage, promote and assist educational excellence in the Warrick County School Corporation. The WPEF is proud to support three primary programs in Warrick County.
The Warrick County Summer Musical Program, a for-credit summer school program, is the flagship program of the public education foundation. Engaging over 100+ students each summer for 15 consecutive summers, this high-quality and professional production provides a creative outlet for the talented students in the tri-state area. In addition, this program provides a family friendly event that entertains, educates and enlightens an estimated 4,000 area residents.
WPEF Education Grants provide funding for innovative and creative projects that cannot be funded through the available school budget. Grants are awarded each semester to teachers in the Warrick County School Corporation. The WPEF funded 14 education grants totaling $7,424 to teachers in the Warrick County School Corporation during the fall 2009 grant period. These grants ranged from $115 to $1,000. The WPEF received 39 education grant requests in October that sought $18,215 in funding.
WPEF Academic Assistance Program funds are provided to secondary school principals to be used in assisting students without the financial resources to pursue the possibility of further educational opportunities. This program provides funding for items such as SAT, ACT or GED test fees and college application fees.
The continued support of The Warrick County Summer Musical by corporations and individuals not only highlights the mission and role of the WPEF, but also contributes to the financial needs of the successful programs detailed above.
