The mission of the Spearfish Foundation for Public Education is to promote financial and community investment in academic programs within the Spearfish School District.
Quality schools and the education provided there are at the heart of every vital community. The community of Spearfish and its citizens value education and the future it insures. With public education facing increasing challenges, the need for public and private sectors of our community to enhance the educational opportunities in our public schools is greater than ever. 
The Spearfish Foundation for Public Education is a non profit organization dedicated to promoting and celebrating excellence in public education. The Foundation works closely with, but independently from, the Spearfish School District. The goal of this partnership is to recognize and encourage innovation in the classroom and dedication to academic excellence; and to involve the community in the pursuit of quality education.
The Foundation raises funds to enrich the academic opportunities for all students and staff in the Spearfish Public Schools. Through the Foundation, businesses, individuals and civic and community organizations can invest their time and resources for the benefit of public education in their hometown.
