The Foundation for Easton Schools understands the pride and tradition associated with the arts, athletics and curriculum of the Easton Area School District. Our mission to develop strong EASD community involvement through fundraising efforts that promote and finance innovative educational programs that supplement and enhance the quality of education and provide enrolled students with extended learning and co-curricular opportunities was developed so that students of today and the future will benefit from the same education provided to our Alumni.

Each year, the highlight of our signature fundraising event, "HomeGrown Heroes Celebration," will be to present our Distinguished Alumni and Distinguished Educator awards. Nominees for this honor have made a positive impact on humanity and have demonstrated at least one of the following criteria:

1. Outstanding career accomplishments.

2. Dedication and Contributions to the Community.

3. Acts of Service.

Each of these outstanding honorees exemplifies the principals of leadership and believes in The Foundation’s vision to enhance the EASD Community by creating a legacy of Innovation, Success, Pride and Engagement for Tomorrow’s Leaders!
