About the Foundation
Est. in 2003, the REF was created to raise funds and distribute resources through grants awarded to our educators with the goal of providing enriched learning for the students of RISD. The REF operates independently from the school district and relies solely on the support of our community partnerships.
It is the desire of the REF to provide educational opportunities for students and educators beyond what is provided for within the budget of Rockwall ISD as well as serve to encourage and faciliate approaches to innovative learning.
