Muscogee Educational Excellence Foundation

… is representative of our outstanding business, education and community leaders who are committed and dedicated to the vision of making a difference in education and in the lives of our children through honoring and recognizing teaching excellence.

In 1996, a group of devoted citizens, who had a long-standing commitment to education, organized the Muscogee Educational Excellence Foundation. Knowing that much of the success of our community depends on the quality of our local schools, the Foundation strove to enhance the quality of our educational system by focusing on the people who have the most direct impact on our students – the teachers. Through their efforts and the work of succeeding board members, the Muscogee Educational Excellence Foundation has evolved into one of the leading advocates of excellence in public education in our region. The Foundation’s Board of Directors works diligently to foster innovative and effective teachers through the Teacher of the Year program and the teacher grant program.

The Foundation collaborates with many other organizations in our pursuit of excellence in education. In 2002, the Foundation Board developed a formal partnership with Columbus State University and their Investment in People Capital Campaign. One of the main goals of the campaign was to, “improve the overall quality of teacher education for Columbus and West Central Georgia”. Working with other dedicated CSU volunteers, the Foundation’s Board of Directors played a critical part in the success of the capital campaign. One of the results of the campaign is a one million dollar endowment for the Muscogee Educational Excellence Foundation, which enables the Foundation to further focus on ‘investing’ in teacher excellence and innovation.
