How It All Began

Project SEEK (Seeking Excellence in Education for our Kids) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 1993 for the sole purpose of raising funds to support enrichment programs at McGaugh Elementary School. At that time, state budget cutbacks threatened to end vital enrichment programs at McGaugh. A group of parents formed Project SEEK in response. State funding has never been restored to pre-crisis levels, so Project SEEK has become a critical part of providing the extra programs we all want for our children.  Project SEEK is guided by an all-volunteer group of parents, faculty and staff and enjoys a broad base of support from the local community.
