About OneMa1ze

Stronger, better together
Our vision for a united school district began as a collective goal among Maize USD 266 administrative staff members at the beginning of the 2015-16 year. It since has inspired student artwork, charitable cooperation, a flash mob, and more.
From Eagles and Mavericks collaborating on fundraising community projects to high school students helping in our preschool classrooms, we are stronger together.
Thank you for your support, and please use the hashtag #OneMa1ze on social media to be a part of our story!

Together, we can help students succeed.
Supporting students in defining and pursuing their individual versions of success is one of the greatest legacies we can leave for our community and one of the mostimportant things we can do to build a better future.
In support of that belief, the Maize Education Foundation strives to partner with school leaders, community members, parents, and business owners in order to secure funding and develop partnerships that aid Maize educators in piloting educational and enrichment programs, developing new curriculum, and providing innovative experiential and project-based learning opportunities for all preK-12 students enrolled in the Maize School District.
The Foundation’s mission is to drive resources to help Maize students reach the promise of their potential. It takes a village, but together, we can help Maize students succeed.
