Durand Education Foundation: Empowering the Future

Our Purpose

At the Durand Education Foundation, we believe in the power of education to shape bright futures. The Durand-Arkansaw School District is dedicated to preparing students for success in an ever-changing world. However, providing exceptional educational opportunities requires more than just dedication--it requires community support.

For years, our students, faculty, and staff have achieved remarkable accomplishments, excelling academically, athletically, and in the arts. These successes are a testament to the strength of our school-community partnership. The Durand Education Foundation exists to build upon this tradition, ensuring that current and future students have access to resources and opportunities that help them thrive.

Through grants, scholarships, and strategic fundraising initiatives, we work to sustain and enhance educational programs, much like university foundations do. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the students of today and tomorrow.
