History
Thank You
Little has been said about the thousands of people whose lives have been touched and improved by the Kewanee Schools Foundation. New facilities, more comfortable surroundings, a more beautiful school environment, hundreds of scholarships, recognition of individual accomplishments, and a sense of history impacted by the publications and communications with alumni have all been an important part of the foundation's work. It is important work and necessary work, especially in these troubled financial times.
To all the alumni and friends whose lives we have touched, we say we are glad. To all those who have helped us help others we give you our profound thanks.

1990: Foundation is Established
The Kewanee Schools Foundation was established by a group of dedicated citizens on July 20, 1990. Members of the original board were Mr. Robert Petersen, Mr. Donald Billiet, Mrs. Lola Charlet, Mr. Martin Hepner, Rev. David Kniker, Mr. Roland Young, Mr. Gary Combs, and Dr. Rick Cernovich. Mr. James Golby was Superintendent of Schools for District #229 and also very deeply involved in establishing the Foundation.
The original intent of the foundation remains our purpose today. The founders wished to strengthen the education and extra curricular opportunities of district students by generating financial support and leadership through its alumni and community.
