About

The Fort LeBoeuf Foundation was created in 1995 to help our students succeed in life by providing a wide range of educational opportunities and financial support. The Foundation’s commitment to the students of Fort LeBoeuf is rooted in the long history of community involvement in education dating back to 1822. As a symbol of this commitment, the entry arch of the historic Waterford Academy has been adopted as the official logo. The Fort LeBoeuf Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit corporation comprised of school board members, school district officials and employees, as well as community members with expertise in education, finance, industry, business and marketing. Each member volunteers their time and expertise to provide each student with the resources to help achieve their potential as a student and become a productive member of our community.
