Who We Are & Mission Statement
Imagine the future of a community that ensured that all of its children had the opportunity to receive a first-rate education… where the knowledge and tools of instruction weren’t left only with educators, but were provided for collaboratively and in partnership with concerned citizens… where volunteers worked to harness the collective will and resources needed to move “putting our children first” from a cliché to a guided principle. Imagine Rocky River, where quality public education has been a civic cornerstone for generations, and where the Rocky River Education Foundation has been supporting this ideal since 1984.
