Welcome to the Kinston-Lenoir County Education Committee and Foundation. 

The Lenoir County Education Foundation was established in 1990 as part of the Kinston-Lenoir County Chamber’s outgoing commitment to quality education.  Since its inception, the foundation has expanded its initial focus to form a bond between local business leaders and all levels of education in our community.  Currently the 2008 Education Committee is working to implement a variety of innovative programs.  Most recently a mission statement was adopted:

Dear Business Owner/Organization Leader:

Lenoir County Public School teachers are constantly looking for ways to enhance their lessons.  One valuable resource is YOU – a community leader/business owner/service provider.
