What is the Duluth Cluster Schools Foundation?

This organization is composed of individuals who work to unite our unique community to benefit the schools in the Duluth Cluster. There are areas in the schools that need enhancement that is not provided by the Gwinnett County Public School System. The Foundation raises money to fund grants submitted by teachers and the schools. Since 2011 DCSF has provided $55,000 in grant monies to assist our cluster schools in Academics, Athletics, and Arts.

Visit our website at duluthschoolsfoundation.org to get more information.

Anybody interested in joining in this effort to help our schools can do so by contacting the foundation at duluthschoolsfoundation@gmail or calling
