Foundation History

Funding for public schools has undergone profound changes in the last decade. The Willow Glen Middle School and High School Foundation was formed in July, 2000, to assure high quality academic and elective programs in the face of technological, social, and economic challenges. The private, non-profit foundation was founded through the cooperative efforts of local parents, faculty, alumni, and public officials and focuses solely on the advancement of academic and cultural programs.

Education is the foundation for success. We are a community-based organization that elicits support from the public, local governments, corporations and area businesses. We use our funding and resources to enhance the academic achievement and cultural enrichment of the Willow Glen public schools and encourage the long-term success of all our students.

Organization

The Foundation Board, consisting of Willow Glen parents, alumni, and community residents, meets monthly to drive fund-raising activities, allocations to the schools, public relations, and membership recruitment.

The Board has 22 members, including 5 officers and ex-officio participants (Principal and faculty member from Middle School and High School, and area Board Trustee). Its four functional branches are Fundraising, Grant Allocations, Public Relations, and Membership/Community Activities.
