Empowering the Next Generation of Murray Learners and Leaders.
Mission
Murray Education Foundation seeks partnerships and resources that support life-changing student learning and development. Working with our educators and community, we are committed to empowering the next generation of Murray learners and leaders.
History
Murray Education Foundation (MEF) was established in 1981 (originally Murray School District Foundation), inspired by the belief that we can always do more to support our students and educators. Changing our name to Murray Education Foundation (MEF) in 1994, the organization is also valued as one more direct way in which businesses and individuals could take an active role in improving our schools.
Purpose
Over the years, board members from all sectors of the community and Murray City School District staff have influenced the strategic direction of the Foundation. This includes additional education initiatives, opportunities for teachers and students, and innovative ways for the community to contribute and partner.
The Foundation has supported hundreds of classroom projects and honored more than 125 educators, volunteers, and staff members for their work. Through its efforts, students’ experiences have expanded and educator responsibilities have been optimized.
