Celebrating 30 Years of Excellence!

Foundation President, Peter Michael Reynolds stated, “Over the past 30 years, The DCSF board, and Directors, past and present have provided an incredible path to support Demopolis City Schools for years to come, all of that being said, it cannot do anything without the financial support of the generous donors over the past 30 years. Again, We cannot thank our donors enough for their continued support.”

She also discussed the direct impact the grants that the Foundation funds has on the students and teachers, which then influence our school system as a whole.
Foundation Executive Director, Margaret Anne Gilchrist stated, “It’s been a great year to celebrate the 30 years of The Foundation and the work we’ve been able to accomplish for all Demopolis classrooms. We could not continue our mission of fostering excellence without the continued support of our donors and the Demopolis community!”
