For more than 20 years, the Spearfish Foundation for Public Education, a nonprofit, 501c3 volunteer organization, has provided grants to K-12 teachers to support enrichment learning, innovation in the classroom, and specific needs of students in Spearfish public schools. We could tell you so many stories of how children’s lives are transformed by the many programs the foundation supports.

We value and appreciate our school district teachers, staff, and administration who work tirelessly each day meeting the intellectual, emotional, and social needs of our children. These educational professionals provide our students with a top-notch education, and the Spearfish Foundation for Public Education will continue to support the school district, with your help! The schools are an integral part of the community, and students are our future leaders.
