Who We Are

Our Story

All the top school districts in Lancaster County have active parental involvement—and committed education foundations. Ours was founded in 1997 when Dr. John Bonfield, then superintendent of Warwick School District, brought community leaders together to support local education.

In the two decades since, we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished. But we’re dedicated to making Warwick shine even brighter in the days ahead—because our students are. When community leaders step up and serve, we get results. When the whole Warwick community pulls together, nothing is beyond us.

OUR MISSION

To promote, enhance and endow enriched educational, teaching and learning opportunities within the Warwick School District community.

OUR GOALS
  • Create a sustainable partnership between the school district, education foundation, and the community to invest in our students.
  • Support imaginative and creative teachers and other educational personnel.
  • Finance programs that fill gaps not funded by traditional sources of revenue.
  • Enhance educational opportunities and experiences for students of all ages.

We Believe

We believe enriching our children’s education is the smartest investment we can make to strengthen our community. Since 1997, the Warwick Education Foundation has invested over $3.2 million in highly-focused educational programs and resources at Warwick School District.

By improving K-12 education through innovative learning experiences, we’re helping Warwick students make the

most of their individual abilities and equip themselves for success in the future. Educated young people make better citizens and more productive employees for local businesses. And top-ranking schools create a more attractive place to live and work.

Investing in our kids is a great investment in the future of our community.
