Making a Difference

The Frisco School District has a long-standing reputation for excellence. This excellence in public education has formed the cornerstone for the quality of life in our community and deserves to be maintained and heightened in the years to come. Through the Frisco Education Foundation, funds are generated for college scholarships and innovative programs that enhance the strengths of our outstanding learning environment. Ties between the schools and the community are strengthened and a permanent endowment for the future of our students can be built. 

The Frisco Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization working in partnership with Frisco Independent School District and the Frisco area community to enhance the educational opportunities of our students.
