Our Mission:

Believing that knowledge is the key to freedom The Foundation for the Advancement of Blount County Schools is dedicated to building school buildings for the Blount County Public School System until no more portables are needed and address other capital needs for the system.

Goals:

Raise 1 million for Carpenter's Elementary shortfall. Carpenter's Elementaary was funded by the County Commission, but the amount that was asked for by the School Superintendent was short due to miscommunication between him and the PBA. The amount only covered the building, but no desks, chairs, or other needs.
