Our Schools

McHenry Elementary Education Foundation

The McHenry Elementary Education Foundation (D15 Foundation) is a not-for-profit organization established in 1992. Its mission is to enhance the educational experience of students by providing funds and resources to teachers. The Foundation supports student development, encourages innovative teaching, promotes parent education, and fosters strong partnerships between schools and the community.

A group of young children, both boys and girls, are sitting together on the floor of what appears to be a classroom or daycare setting, surrounded by colorful educational materials and posters on the walls.
