Roxana Schools Foundation
For more than 80 years, the students, faculty, staff and devoted parents of the Roxana Community Unit School District No. 1 have been an integral part of the local community. Graduates of the school system have gone on to pursue additional education, business careers or military service. Many graduates have given and are giving back to the area through participation as community volunteers.
Roxana District is justifiably proud of its long and distinguished heritage in the community. The recent past has seen the district forge a closer relationship with business and industry, most notably the high school’s Partners In Education program with Wood River Refining Company, our supportive next door neighbor.
Today, more than ever before, decreasing resources, rising costs, and ever–growing needs are presenting unprecedented challenges. The Roxana Schools Foundation was formed in 1995 by local citizens through the State of Illinois to help meet these challenges.
The Foundation allows graduates of the Roxana district, other individuals, and businesses to make charitable, tax deductible contributions to our school district. It is governed by a board of directors representing education and business… people who live and work nearby…people who care about the present and future of Roxana schools.
The Foundation has established several educational program areas to which contributions can be made, including an undesignated category if you just want to make a donation. You may choose to donate to a specific program category, or you can designate your own. The only requirement is that the designated donation be for a program or activity directly connected with the school district.
No contribution is too small, and all are greatly appreciated. To make a contribution, please make your check to:
Roxana Schools Foundation. You can designate a specific program on the memo line or on a separate sheet of paper. Mail to:
