Generous Donation

Thanks to a significant donation from William (Bill) Lowa, III, and Lisa Carideo Lowa to Montgomery County Community College’s Foundation, fifth through eighth-grade students in the Pottstown School District will now have the opportunity to participate in missions at the Challenger Learning Center at Montco Pottstown.

This initiative, inspired by the couple’s dedication to education and community, will support STEM education by allowing students to engage in simulated space missions, fostering interest in science and technology. The Learning Center, located in the former PECO building, has already impacted nearly 7,500 children since its opening in 2022.
