Since 1986 the Foundation for Leon County Schools has been the Direct Support Organization
[vc_empty_space height=”20px”]

The Foundation for Leon County Schools (FLCS) was established in 1986 when forward-thinking business, community, and education leaders came together with a common goal of enhancing educational opportunities and experiences for Leon County students in order to deliver a superior education.Β  Under the leadership of its volunteer Board of Directors, the Foundation remains focused on this endeavor.

Foundation For Leon County Schools
Foundation For Leon County Schools1 week ago
Leon County Schools was well-represented at last night's Best and Brightest Awards! We'd like to give a special congratulations πŸŽ‰ to James S. Rickards High School student Amaya Waymon who won the Leadership Award and the Spirit of the Best and Brightest Award. 🌟

Among her many accomplishments, Amaya created Girl Flo, a service initiative that provides feminine products to students who lack access. Her organization raised over $20,000 in two years. Through the efforts of Girl Flo (with the support of the Foundation For Leon County Schools) and generous donors, all of our secondary schools have product dispensers and free access to menstrual products both at school and to take home.

Please give a round of applause πŸ‘to all of our student finalists, runners-up, honorable mentions, and winners! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰
