With the support of our donors and the community, we create links and bridges for Adams12 students and the world around them.

Mission: Invest in Student Success

Vision: The Five Star Education Foundation contributes to the improvement of the overall quality of life in our community through investments in educational services and programs to assist Adams12 students in achieving their full potential.

Background Statement

The Five Star Education Foundation was formed in September 1985 by 10 dedicated citizens who believe in our neighborhood schools. The goal - to raise money from the community to support educational activities that were outside the school district's general fund budget. This support was provided by way of grants to teachers in the district to implement programs they created. The foundation distributed its first grants in September 1986. The foundation has been supporting the education of children in the Five Star School district ever since. We help schools address school readiness, equitable access to learning and career programs, and invest in teachers' passions that end with student success. With more than 36,000 students K-12, we are singularly focused on making sure that ALL students are ready for their future.
