Help Shape the Future of NACS Students and Teachers
Thank you for your interest in serving on the NACS Education Foundation Board. Our Foundation exists to strengthen Northwest Allen County Schools by connecting community support directly to students, teachers, and schools—helping ensure every learner has what they need to thrive.
Board service with the NACS Education Foundation is an opportunity to make a meaningful, local impact. We welcome individuals who care deeply about educational success in NACS and believe that strong schools are built through shared responsibility, collaboration, and compassion.

What unites all board members is a genuine commitment to supporting NACS students and teachers.
We value diversity in:
