Share our Vision - Enhance Your Child's Future

Walled Lake Schools provides outstanding education for our young people and enrichment for all ages. The district constantly moves forward in the search for ways to increase opportunities for students.

The Foundation for Excellence is dedicated to advancing ways for children to learn. The continued high quality of our schools depends on increased financial support. Since 1991, and with many thousands of dollars, the Foundation for Excellence has subsidized a variety of activities and programs in our schools which are not funded by tax dollars.

The Foundation for Excellence is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. All gifts are tax deductible as charitable contributions to the full extent of the law.

The Foundation for Excellence works hand in hand with remarkable teachers, supportive families, generous business leaders and TLC!

The Foundation for Excellence is once again proud to sponsor our district-wide art exhibit showcasing the amazing talents of our kindergarten through 12th grade students.

New to the exhibit this year, individuals, businesses, PTSA groups, along with the Foundation for Excellence, were able to show their support and sponsor their own "art board".
