Our Story

Our story began in 2002...
Adele Foster, Rudy Menn, and other community members saw a need to supply teachers with additional funds for classroom items and projects. After many hours of hard work and commitment, an Argyle ISD Education Foundation Board of Directors was formed and by-law were adopted. In 2003, we officially became an independent 501(c)(3) whose sole purpose was to tend to the needs of the students and staff of Argyle ISD. Though our focus has changed a little over the years, our mission has not. We are here to enhance the learning environment for AISD students and to support our amazing AISD staff!
Since it's inception, AEF has donated over 1.8 million dollars to AISD!
