The goals of the foundation are to:

Fund and evaluate innovative pilot projects and events that enhance student learning and enrichment;

Facilitate collaboration between BCSD, the community, and local and regional organizations to strengthen educational and occupational opportunities for students;

Foster strong community involvement and support for public education in Beacon.

The Foundation’s primary areas of focus are:
