Support
In addition to providing thousands of dollars in scholarships and grants each year, the CCEF is proud to support Clarke County Public Schools with Academic, Arts & Athletics, and Facilities support as well. To find out more about how we give, read below.
Academic
Enhancing the academic experience for the students of Clarke County Public Schools is of great importance to the Clarke County Education Foundation as demonstrated in our giving history. Numerous programs and funding resources have provided unique opportunities that would not otherwise be available in our school division.
The Clyff Hill Memorial Fund
This Fund, which was opened in 2018, honors the legacy and life of Clyff Hill, former English Teacher at Clarke County High School. Funds from this account will help publish and print the CCHS IB English Culminating Book of Poetry which can be found in the CCHS library.
The Evan Robb Professional Book Study Fund
This Fund, which was opened with a $2,000 donation, will allow team leaders, department leaders, grade level leaders or administrators from Clarke County Public Schools to apply for funding to purchase professional development books for book studies within the district. The donation was made by Mr. Evan Robb, current Principal of Johnson-Williams Middle School. To read more click here.

StoryWalk at Chet Hobert Park
As part of the CCEF’s 30th Year Celebration in 2022, the CCEF Board donated a StoryWalk to the Clarke County community, located at Chet Hobert Park in Berryville, VA.
Richard M. Lewis Academic Access Fund
Established in 2017 in honor of the late Dr. Richard M. Lewis. Funded to provide Kajeets, a broadband internet device, to those students who are not able to access internet in their homes since. This technology is the result of generous memorial contributions made to honor the late Dr. Lewis, who passed away in July 2016. Dr. Lewis was the President of the Clarke County Education Foundation at the time of his passing, and he was a tireless advocate for access to educational opportunities.
Students from J-WMS and CCHS may visit their libraries to learn more about the Kajeet devices and check one out or get on the waiting list!
VA Star
The Virginia Student Training and Refurbishment Program (Virginia STAR or VA STAR) is a program in schools all across the Commonwealth of Virginia. These students refurbish computers and work toward IT industry standard certifications. The program helps teach students to refurbish surplus computer hardware from government agencies and private companies. The refurbished computers are donated to families, organizations, and school districts at no cost. Through participation in the program, students work towards earning digital badges (badges.vastar.org) and industry-standard certifications which can pave the way for both higher education and well-paying jobs.
