Message from the Foundation
Since 1986 the mission of the Foundation has been to enhance the quality of public education in Lee County by increasing community involvement in, and support for, Lee County Public Schools. A diverse group of local business and community leaders realized that the cornerstone of an economically strong community was a quality public education system.
The purpose of every initiative of The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools is to enhance and enrich the quality of public education in Lee County for students and educators. Click on our various Programs to learn more about our students' unique learning opportunities and how teachers themselves are recognized and encouraged in their dedicated efforts.

You can help your community's students find their day in the sun!
Florida's newly designed Support Education specialty license plate has undergone an overhaul for the first time in 25 years, with a fresh, new look that promotes the importance of education in the Sunshine State. While the look has changed, one thing remains the same - your contribution, through the purchase of a Support Education specialty license plate, directly supports education initiatives in your own community. All funds raised through tag sales will directly benefit public education where the tag is purchased.
You can "drive" learning coast to coast by investing in your local schools today. Learn how supporting education can be simple and rewarding with the purchase of a specialty tag at LicensetoLearnFI.com.
Golden Apple Program
The Golden Apple Teacher Recognition Program™ was the first major project founded and developed by The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools, Inc. as a way to enhance public education by recognizing and rewarding excellence in teaching. Since its inception thirty five years ago, the Foundation has awarded over 200 educators county wide with the prestigious Golden Apple awards.
Nomination:
Each school year begins with an invitation to students, parents, teachers, administrators and the general public to nominate a Lee County School District teacher who is making an extraordinary contribution to our students and education. Typically, we receive over 6,000 nomination forms annually, nominating over 2,000 individual teachers.
