General Funding for Student Achievement

The Decatur City Schools and its Board of Education are facilitating a 5-year Strategic Plan to include aggressive goals for increasing student achievement measured by data such as test scores and graduation rates. The Foundation supports this effort and maintains close relationships with community partners to insure that our students and schools are able to achieve these goals. We are also committed to helping continue to establish a culture of innovation throughout our school system.

Million Word Challenge

"I became a Million Word Challenge reader because reading gives me knowledge. I like reading and taking Accelerated Reader tests. It was a challenge that I wanted to prove that I could meet. I also wanted one of those t-shirts!"

- Flynn Stewart, Third Grader at Eastwood Elementary
