    Trenton Educational Foundation Focus

    Our Board of Directors are here because education and experience is important to them personally. They may have children with Trenton Public Schools now or have had children or relatives graduate from Trenton, Michigan schools. Interested parties from all walks of life are able to attend a meeting to see if it's a good fit for them. They are business owners and educators and community leaders. They care about   Technology, Scholastic, The Arts, Social, Emotional & Physical Health, Professional Development
