Over the summer of 2018, a group of community members and MCHS Administration, with the assistance from the MCHS Board of Education, established the District #111 Foundation for Educational Excellence. The mission of our foundation is to inspire excellence, foster innovation, and nurture potential.

Goals include: Monetary support for the MCHS community through innovative initiatives, technology upgrades and capital improvement opportunities, Conduit for community members and alumni who wish to leave a legacy to MCHS, Honor tradition by recognizing our rich history, Strengthen community engagement through outreach and events.

The District #111 Foundation for Educational Excellence gives back to the Minooka Community High School District #111 community through various fundraising efforts including a holiday party/ugly sweater fundraiser which featured dueling pianos in 2021! With the generous help of donors and sponsors, the District #111 Foundation for Educational Excellence offers grant opportunities for educators and staff at MCHS District #111 and well as several scholarship opportunities.
