In July 2015, the Forsyth County Board of Education approved the creation of the Forsyth County Education Foundation as an extension of our successful Partners in Education program. The Foundation offers an opportunity for the community to partner with Forsyth County Schools in supporting innovative teaching and enhancing student achievement.

Total Impact in Nine Years
$850,000 in School Grants Impacting 108,548 Students
Until 2022, the Foundation had focused on providing school grants through the Duck Dive for Education fundraiser, held each spring. With the addition of Dr. Jim and Peggie Morrow iChallenge in 2022-23, the Foundation expanded its reach to a new area of need – paraprofessional-to-teacher scholarships and teacher-to-counselor scholarships. In 2024-25, the Dr. Jim and Peggie Morrow iChallenge shifted to the Dr. Jim and Peggie Morrow Glow Run for Educators and money raised was shifted to a new area of need-advanced degrees for FCS educators.
