The WFEE exists to support innovation and excellence in the Winchester Public Schools. Founded in 1992, we provide private money to fund initiatives that are beyond the reach of public funds. WFEE is run by a volunteer board of Winchester residents who work in partnership with the Superintendent and School Committee. We are totally independent of the school system but maintain a close partnership to ensure that our grant-funded projects match the goals of the schools, particularly in the area of curriculum.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we have been able to provide significant support to the school system through a variety of initiatives:

• Technology – the purchase of laptop computers for all full time teachers at McCall Middle School plus major support to the wireless environment at Winchester High school, allowing for LCD projectors in all classroom;
• Education and professional development grants – seed money for creative projects that have touched every public school in Winchester;
• The Promise Fund – a two year effort that channeled $860,000 to maintain teaching positions across the district.

We hope you find our updated web site useful and thank you for your commitment to education.
