ABOUT US

A group of prominent community leaders came together in 2018 to form the Manor Schoolhouse Foundation to boost financial support for students and teachers in the Manor Independent School District.

We feel a calling to help make up the difference — and to put these resources behind exciting new practices that drive student achievement and skill development.

The Manor Schoolhouse Foundation’s Mission is to partner with the community to provide resources, maximize innovative practices and support teaching and learning for all students in Manor ISD.

Focus Areas:

Grow Partnerships

The Foundation builds and fosters partnerships with the community, businesses and families who share a common goal: raising private funds to support innovation in teaching and enhancing the quality of education for all students in Manor ISD.

Fund Programs That Work

The Foundation shares the District’s vision to focus on programs that help students reach their potential and positively impact the future.

Support Innovators In The Classroom

The Foundation is committed to awarding grants that help teachers unleash new and creative approaches to drive achievement in the classroom and provide new opportunities for students. Data will be used to evaluate the results.
