FRIENDS OF BIG SKY EDUCATION (FOBSE) is a non-profit entity formed in 2004. FOBSE is organized exclusively for charitable purposes that enhance and support the education of Big Sky students and the Big Sky community, including cultural education and entertainment.

Our first, and certainly our biggest project, was facilitating the opening of our locally-governed high school in Big Sky. Lone Peak High School opened its doors in August 2009. We followed that with a capital campaign to build the school and community-based Warren Miller Performing Arts Center.

We’ve engaged in a number of long-term projects that support the Big Sky School District and the community, such as fundraising to upgrade the track and field, installation of bleachers, and donation of an activity bus. FOBSE promoted and organized funding for the 1:1 technology initiative.

We are also proud to sponsor a scholarship effort, raising and donating scholarships to graduating seniors who will attend college and other post-secondary education programs.
