ROCKWALL COUNTY, TX (Aug. 28, 2024) – The Royse City ISD Education Foundation’s mission is to generate and distribute resources to the Royse City Independent School District to enrich teaching, inspire learning and advance innovative and creative programs to cultivate a passion for learning. The Rockwall County Commissioners Court recognized them for raising over $1.5 million over 15 years. The funds raised go directly back to innovative classroom grants, special projects and programs, district initiatives, as well as towards teacher and student recognition programs, and administrative expenses.

“An Evening for Education 2024 -Our Future is BRIGHT Gala!” is coming up on Saturday, October 26, 2024, at the Hilton Dallas/Rockwall Lakefront as supporters seek to raise funds to empower educators and inspire the next generation of learners.
