What an incredible opportunity for EPS students! Thank you, Dr. Jeff and Lisa Fastnacht, for your generosity!
#CardinalPride #ThunderPrideThe Bismarck Public Schools Foundation is proud to announce the establishment of the Dr. Jeff and Lisa Fastnacht Scholarship, honoring a shared commitment to public education and the belief that great educators have the power to transform lives, strengthen communities, and shape the future.
Together, Jeff and Lisa Fastnacht have devoted more than six decades to serving students and schools across South Dakota and North Dakota. Both began their educational careers in Britton, South Dakota, and went on to serve students, educators, and communities throughout the region.
Lisa served Ellendale Public Schools from 1996–2018 as an elementary teacher and later a Title I teacher. In 2018, she joined Mandan Public Schools as an English Language (EL) teacher, continuing her commitment to helping every child feel supported, valued, and capable of reaching their full potential.
Jeff began his educational leadership career in North Dakota in 1996 as the elementary principal and Technology Director for Ellendale Public Schools. He became superintendent of Ellendale Public Schools in 2002, serving the district for sixteen years. In 2018, he joined Mandan Public Schools as assistant superintendent before becoming superintendent of Bismarck Public Schools in 2023.
Recognizing the ongoing need to recruit, develop, and retain outstanding educators, the Fastnachts created this scholarship to encourage young people to pursue careers in education and celebrate the meaningful impact teachers make in the lives of children every day.
It is Jeff and Lisa’s hope that this scholarship will inspire future educators to lead with purpose, serve with compassion, and make a lasting difference in the lives of their students.
