Pillar of The Month

Pillar of the Month

Hatch, Croke & Associates, P.C. was started in 1994. They’re a four-partner full-service accounting firm specializing in business accounting, income tax return preparation and consulting, as well as audit and attest services. Their client base includes all areas of business including retail, construction, service, not-for-profit and governments.

Scott Hatch and his wife Laura have a deep history with Lawton Public schools. Scott grew up attending school in Lawton, and his wife taught music for 35 years for LPS. She’s also a current board member for the LPS Foundation.

Hatch says their kids received a wonderful education in Lawton, which played a large part in their success in college. Becoming a pillar for the LPS Foundation, ensured his funds benefited programs which had an impact on his family over the years.

“It is hard to find a better use of contributor dollars than helping educate our kids who will ultimately be the future of our community. Being a pillar helps ensure a regular and dependable flow of funds to the Foundation in order that it can fulfill their mission to provide both students and teachers the tools they need to be successful in their educational objectives.”
-Scott N. Hatch, CPA

Hatch and his team have been a pillar for the Foundation since 2013. He’s always been willing to offer financial advice and is a dedicated sponsor for our events.

“Scott and Laura genuinely care about the teachers and students in our community. We can’t thank them enough for everything they do for us and for the educational community. We are very blessed to have them as a pillar, and so happy to have Laura on our board.”
-Lawton Public School Foundation

Without the support of Pillars like Hatch, Croke & Associates, P.C., LPSF would not be able to provide the support and resources that we do to the teachers and students of Lawton Public Schools.

“I recognized the need for additional funding for our public schools due the school system’s inadequate ad valorem revenue. The Foundation provided a means by which I could contribute and provide assistance directly to the classrooms. The Foundation’s vetting process made me comfortable knowing that the funds were going to deserving programs.”
-Scott N. Hatch, CPA
