The mission of PCEF is to encourage educational opportunities through community collaboration. |
The Person County Education Foundation is dedicated to serving students in grades K-12 in traditional and charter public schools of Person County, North Carolina. PCEF is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) and has been granted public charity status. Although originally established in 1988, PCEF faced a need to reorganize in 2012.
PCEF is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of community and business leaders. Our organization is dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities for our Person County public school students through community collaboration. We strive year-round to provide resources and enrichment programs that expand the educational experience. Through community collaboration, we can provide leadership, advocacy and program resources that increase the education levels of residents to make our community thrive as an attractive place to live, work and do business.
