Grants to fund historic murals in 11 Stafford County school buildings

The Stafford Education Foundation (SEF) will partner with the Stafford Museum and Cultural Center organization to celebrate and build community awareness of local history in Stafford County Public Schools (SCPS).

The collaborative partnership, formed in March 2021, brought together board members of SEF, members of the Stafford Museum and Cultural Center, SCPS administrators, and leadership from SCPS’s Office of Equity and Accountability and learning and Organizational Development Departments. The competitive historic mural grant program has provided more than $40,000 to fund mural projects that highlight Stafford County’s history.

“We applaud the commitment of the Stafford Museum and Cultural Center to our students and community,” shared SEF Board President, Stephanie Johnson. “These murals will support student learning and inspire our students for many years to come.”
