The Schools Foundation works to create higher expectations and widespread community support for Huntsville City, Madison County and Madison City schools, leading to world-class performance of principals, teachers and students.

The Foundation serves as an advocate and leading organization for community engagement, as well as a vehicle for individuals and businesses to support public education. In 2000, the Huntsville City Schools Foundation and the Madison County Schools Foundation combined to form one education foundation to serve all three school systems in Madison County.

We believe:

• There is nothing more important than our students.
• Parent, business, and community involvement are essential for quality education.
• Teachers must have personal and career development opportunities that help inspire and prepare students to be successful.
• On-going communication among stakeholders creates mutual trust and respect.
• We cannot solely depend on local, state and federal governments to fully meet our needs.
• Every constituency within the community has a stake and deserves a voice in the success of public education.
