40 Years of Investing in Round Rock’s Future
What started as a vision among community leaders in 1985 has become Round Rock ISD’s most impactful education support organization.
Our Story
In 1985, leaders from the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce, Greater Northwest Austin Chamber of Commerce, Round Rock ISD Council of PTAs, and district administration recognized a critical need: public school funding couldn’t keep pace with innovative teaching ideas and student needs.
Together, they founded the Round Rock ISD Partners in Education Foundation—creating a bridge between community resources and classroom excellence.
Forty Years Later
- Over $11.2 million invested in Round Rock ISD
- Thousands of teachers empowered to innovate
- Hundreds of students supported through scholarships
- Countless lives changed through emergency assistance
Our Mission
The Round Rock ISD Partners in Education Foundation develops and allocates resources to Round Rock Independent School District to enrich, enhance, and maximize the quality of education for all students.
We Achieve This Mission By:

- Providing pathways for business and community investment in education
- Recognizing and rewarding exemplary teaching
- Supporting students facing financial and emergency challenges
- Promoting public awareness of Round Rock ISD excellence
