🌟 Trustee Tuesday 🌟
Welcome back to Trustee Tuesday, our series highlighting the dedicated volunteers who serve on the Harrisonville Public School Foundation Board. This week, we're featuring past president RJ Knox!
RJ is a lifelong Harrisonville resident with a strong, multigenerational connection to the community. He and his wife, Annie, are both graduates of the Harrisonville School District, and today they are raising their family in the district. Their children, Addison and Henry, are currently Harrisonville students—Addison beginning her sophomore year and Henry his seventh-grade year.
RJ joined the Foundation because he believes investing in schools is an investment in the entire community.
"Strong schools create stronger communities. Supporting opportunities that enrich students' educational experiences and help teachers succeed is an investment in Harrisonville."
As a Senior Vice President and Commercial Lender with Country Club Bank, RJ also brings a strong understanding of the importance of investing wisely in our community. He wants people to know that the Foundation helps extend the impact of the district's resources by funding innovative projects, classroom grants, scholarships and other initiatives that directly benefit students and teachers.
"Every donation stays local and helps directly invest in the future of Harrisonville by creating opportunities that have a lasting impact on our schools."
RJ and Annie are proud to be raising their family in Harrisonville. When he's not working or serving on the Foundation Board, RJ enjoys fishing, hunting, riding horses and managing his family's ever-changing mix of farm animals.
