We at Capitol Federal® express our appreciation to the Maize Education Foundation for all it does in helping our teachers provide the best education for our students, and thus furthering the development of an even stronger Maize community
–John Dicus, Chief Executive Officer of Capitol Federal®
For a number of years, the Maize School District has provided high-quality elective opportunities for students to learn these important skills. This grant will allow educators and administrators to expand the curriculum and embed coursework throughout the district to ensure that all students learn the skills during their K-12 education.
