WBRC Education Foundation

The objectives of the West Branch Rose City Educational Foundation are to ensure that resources are available to help change the course of the lives of our children.  In changing their attitudes and aspirations, our lives also will be enriched.  You, as a member of this community, are invited to participate in this project with your generous donations. 

In addition to providing college scholarships to Ogemaw Heights High School graduates, the foundation also sponsors field trips, guest speakers, college visitations and other educational activities that augment the West Branch Rose City Area School district’s mission.
