About Cross Keys Foundation

The Cross Keys Foundation (CKF) was organized in 2009 to provide organizational, logistical, and fundraising support designed to enhance the educational experience of the students enrolled in the Cross Keys High School attendance zone. Presently, this zone includes: Cross Keys HS, Sequoyah MS, Oakcliff ES, Cary Reynolds ES, Dresden ES, Montclair ES, and Woodward ES (collectively, the "Zone").

The Foundation is a partnership between our Board and The DeKalb County Public Schools Foundation (DCPSF). The DeKalbCounty Public Schools Foundation exists to serve and strengthen the DeKalb County School District in its pursuit of high levels of academic achievement for all students.

While our Board provides the leadership and energy for the development and deployment of volunteer and financial resources for the Zone, the DCPSF manages the non-profit status of our efforts via their beneficiary tax exempt 501(3)(c) corporation.

The unique characteristics of our Zone include high diversity, high numbers of English Language Learners (ELL students) and high poverty rates. As a result, CKF focuses on filling gaps in volunteer and financial resources that characterize our Zone's population.

Simply put, our mission is to provide every learning opportunity possible to the young people in our population group.
