The Education Foundation is also focused on building and sustaining relationships that are mutually beneficial to our schools and business communities.  With Hispanic business connections and advocacy already established in this fast growing community, the Foundation has the base and a distinct advantage for engaging parents, business, and community leaders.  Through advocacy and leadership the Foundation has become an essential and trusted partner to educational entities as they carry out new visions for our high schools.

Our primary objective is to facilitate the successful development and implementation of the High School Redesign initiative.  As we assist in this initiative, we also help the district to identify barriers to college access for Hispanic students and parents.  The Foundation helps to enhance the college-bound proclivities of our Hispanic Community by developing resources and funding in the region.
