A Community of Givers
The Wichita Public Schools Foundation
We fill the gap - from what government funding provides, and what our students need to be successful, both in and outside the classroom. At the Wichita Public Schools Foundation we believe a students outcome should never be determined by their family's income. Join our connected community of champions for Wichita Public Schools.
