About Us

Mission

To promote and enhance student achievement and invest in educational excellence.

General Information

The Rush City Education Foundation (RCEF) is a non-profit organization with the purpose of enhancing educational opportunities for students of the Rush City Area Schools – in the classroom and beyond – and encouraging them to achieve excellence.

The Rush City Education Foundation is an entity separate from the Rush City School District with its own officers, Board of Directors, and bylaws.  We work cooperatively with the Rush City School District and community to utilize time, talent, and financial resources to support students.  Rush City Education Foundation funding does not replace school district responsibilities, but works to enhance district dollars.
