Empowering Carlisle Students and Educators

OUR MISSION

The Carlisle Education Foundation (CEF) is a non-profit volunteer organization, and our mission is to promote innovative approaches to teaching & learning and enhance educational experiences for all students. Guided by the core values of Carlisle Public Schools- Academic Excellence, Creativity, Respect and Responsibility - we seek to bridge the gap between the school’s budget and its needs to cultivate a thriving learning environment.  ​

WHAT WE DO

  • CEF Initiatives: Partnering directly with schools to develop creative learning spaces, invest in equipment, and create programs that expand access to learning.
