Mission statement

To help ensure lifetime success for the residents of our school community, the Gloversville Education Foundation will collaborate with stakeholders to foster childhood development and school and workforce readiness. The Foundation will work to ensure all children are provided the opportunities, resources, and support to excel as they enter pre-kindergarten and kindergarten, progress through their formal education (including college, trade schools, the military), and are workforce-ready upon completion.
