The Iraan-Sheffield Independent School District serves one of the poorest counties in the U.S. - despite the fact that tremendous wealth is generated by oil and natural gas fields prevalent throughout the District. In fact, in any given year, Pecos County is one of the five largest oil and gas producing counties in the U.S. Yet the riches of the land have unfortunately not been shared back to the community, and as a result our families are disadvantaged, and our schools are without the resources you would expect when surrounded by such wealth.
The Pecos River Valley Educational Foundation was formed to bring hope and provide opportunity to our disadvantaged children - so that they can be properly prepared for a brilliant and successful future.
