Willow Glen Education Foundation
We’re similar to a PTA, but a little different!
Willow Glen Education Foundation is a nonprofit organization serving Willow Glen Middle School (WGMS) and Willow Glen High School (WGHS). We are a school-connected organization (SCO) and we develop resources and fund programs that inspire, promote, and support the academic achievement as well as social and cultural enrichment of all students at WGMS and WGHS.
What’s new and upcoming?
School’s officially out for summer! We wish ALL of our students, families and staff a restful and fun summer!
SJUSD Volunteer Applications Are Open: Get a head start on 2026-2027 and apply now.
If you plan to volunteer on campus during school hours, you must register as a volunteer with SJUSD each year and receive an official email from the district confirming your clearance. This process is the same for the entire district and can take several weeks, especially at the beginning of the school year. Get a head start by renewing/applying now.

Wednesday, September 2, 2026: WGMS Back to School Night
This evening generally includes a parent info fair and is followed by a “mini-school day” complete with bells and passing periods, where you will walk through your student’s schedule, spending about 10 minutes in each classroom learning about the curriculum and what the teacher has planned before moving to the next class. Full details will be made available by school administrators via ParentSquare.
