The mission of the Streetsboro Education Foundation is to support Streetsboro City Schools in providing a challenging and enriching educational experience to maximize the learning potential of every student and prepare them to succeed in the 21st century.
We accomplish this by:
· Promoting and enhancing educational excellence by providing independent funding typically not covered by the school budget for worthy educational projects, enrichment programs, and other educational initiatives beyond the standard curriculum
· Foster a culture of excellence in the Streetsboro City Schools by inspiring students and supporting teachers with innovative learning opportunities
· Enrich the public school curriculum with programs and activities to expose students to diverse learning experiences and challenge them to reach well beyond their current abilities
· Offer members of the Streetsboro community a channel to contribute to education and strengthen the future of our town

• All students regardless of ability, race, ethnicity, gender or socio-economic status deserve the best education the community can deliver.
• In the transformational power of education for students at all levels of readiness, ability and achievement.
• In educating the whole child including a focus on physical, social, emotional and intellectual development.
