2025 Fund Drive Goal
“It is easy to feel overwhelmed by all of the impending threats to public education, especially when our district was already in a vulnerable position. History has shown us that time and time again, this community prioritizes protecting our public school system. Ashlanders know that education is essential and that our students deserve access to quality instruction and environments that allow them to thrive.”
-Erica Thompson, Ashland Schools Foundation Executive Director
