Our Mission
The Combs Education Foundation supports educational opportunities for students, staff, and families by funding the development and implementation of quality programs, establishing strong community partnerships, and supporting the goals of the J.O. Combs Unified School District.We fulfill this mission by giving in three important areas:- Student scholarships to Combs High School seniors
- Staff Excellence Awards
- Classroom grants to J.O. Combs Unified School District teachers
However, we cannot maintain and extend these opportunities without your support. Helping our students reach their highest potential is of the utmost importance, and we hope you will consider making a tax-eductible donation to the Combs Education Foundation. Should you wish to establish a scholarship fund, there are also opportunities available. Feel free to email mduplissis@jocombs.org for more information.
2022-2023 Business Breakfast
Thank you so much to all of our sponsors this year who help support our students and provide them with opportunities to excel in their education. We had an amazing turn out at the Business Breakfast this year and look forward to continuing this tradition in the future.
