Description
The Hollis and Alyce Herbison Excellence in Education Fund is an endowment within the Community Foundation of Southern Wisconsin supporting Eastview Elementary School in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Established by Hollis Herbison out of his dedication to education, it provides private resources for educational programming not typically funded by tax dollars, investing in quality education for current students and future generations.
As part of the foundation’s Excellence in Education program, the fund encourages creative and innovative educational programs, recognizes outstanding achievement, and promotes local business, civic, and community involvement in schools. These funds serve the immediate and changing needs of students and staff. A community volunteer advisory committee, independent of the school district, determines annual grant awards.
