CCEF History

The Clear Creek Education Foundation Inc. was incorporated by a group of citizens and education supporters who sought to develop a new entity to help public schools by providing resources not available through tax revenue.
They recognized that an organization was needed to fill the gaps, and provide opportunities and resources for Clear Creek RE-1 students and educators.

The founding members identified the need to bridge public and private interests in education and believed that civic, cultural, and business institutions in the community should have more involvement in supporting Clear Creek County public schools.

Founding members: Jim Leonard, Tom Hayden, Carol O’Brien, Chip Bair, Darrell Chauncey, Rick Garnett, Sheri Williams, Gwenn Wilson, Patty Winter, Rick Winter, Peggy Stokstad, Paulette Crisman, Jane Snyder, Joyce Conrey, Joanne Ihrig, Mary Jane Loevlie, Gaille Robertson, Dexter Fountain, and George Neal.
