    Scott Patterson

Scott Patterson is a lifelong Fort Mill resident and product of Fort Mill Schools. He served on the school board from 2008 to 2016. He also is a board member for the Catawba Regional Council of Governments since 2013 and has previously served as a board member for the Boys & Girls Clubs of York County.

“I am excited about continuing to be involved in the school district and making an impact on our teachers and students in the classroom. I want to continue my passion for public education in this role.”

About Us

The South Carolina Boards Association presented the Foundation with the award of “Champions for Public Education” at the November 5th, 2019 Fort Mill School Board meeting.

Programs

Our programs are designed to further our mission and provide much needed services for our constituents.

2021 Grant applications are available!

We are excited to announce that the Grants program for 2021 is now open and accepting applications. Grant applications will be accepted through Friday, April 16th, and we will award the grants in mid-May.

For those who have participated in the program in the past, you may notice one small change this year. Due to a number of circumstances, we're not able to offer a Professional Development category.

It's inspiring to see the amazing projects that Fort Mill's educators have created for their students with past grants. It's a privilege for the Foundation, on behalf of our sponsors, to be able to fund these creative project that provide so much benefit to the students of Fort Mill. We look forward to reviewing these applications, and to awarding the 2021 grants in May!
