Benefiting Germantown Municipal School District
The mission of the Germantown Education Foundation is to mobilize community resources to support and benefit schools and educational programs in the GMSD.
Through grants, projects and initiatives, the Germantown Education Foundation helps advance the academic achievement of students by improving the quality of teaching and learning in our six municipal schools and one online academy.
YOUR support makes it happen.
Studies show that communities with outstanding and innovative educational programs retain economic prosperity. Education is a driving force behind these communities’ ability to attract business and community leaders who take pride in where they live and work.
We ask you to join our effort to keep our schools among the best in Tennessee and the nation by volunteering for the 2024 Run for Education today.
The minimum age to volunteer is high school. If you are 13 or 14, you may volunteer with a parent!
