In late 1999, a group of Osage alumni formed the Osage Education Foundation. This foundation, though independent of the Osage Community School District, will work with the school to fund new projects and opportunities that may be beyond the resources or outside the scope of our school system.

The Foundation hopes to harness the pride, energy and resources of the district’s alumni to support our current students. “Our Legacy…Their Future” is prominently featured on the organization’s letterhead. The Foundation will provide an opportunity to alumni, parents, community members and business leaders to support the continued excellence of the education provided to our young people at Osage Community Schools.
