The Watauga Education Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to enriching student learning for all Watauga County Public School students by effectively promoting innovative educational experiences for children that inspire every student to achieve his or her highest potential. The annual Shooting Stars exhibit features the artwork of talented Watauga County Schools students of all ages.
