Support the Kettering School District’s efforts to be the innovative leader in K-12 education throughout the Miami Valley.
History
The Kettering Education Foundation began in 1990 as a dream of Kettering resident, Susan Bieber, whose research showed that our community was one of the few in the Dayton area without a private foundation for its schools.
Susan and the other founders, John Bieber, Roger Bauser, Dale Medford, and Chuck Havener, spent three years investigating the needs of the school district and programs offered by other foundations across the state of Ohio.
The Kettering Education Foundation is governed by an advisory board comprised of community leaders and business associates, ex-officio members, and trustees.
