MIDTOWN HIGH SCHOOL FOUNDATION

SUPPORTING MIDTOWN KNIGHTS EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

With the help of our Midtown High School community, the Foundation can continue to leverage resources to ensure every Knight has the tools and support they need to graduate prepared for college and career, particularly in this challenging time. It is now more important than ever to support these initiatives.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT INITIATIVES

Saturday School is fully funded by the Foundation. This transformative program allows students to make up missing work, and/or get extra help from their teachers or peer tutors who specialize in the content area. Teachers are paid for their time and have raved about the results, particularly for 9th graders. The Foundation also fully funds the Math Center, which provides after school teacher-led math tutoring open to all students.

PROFESSIONAL LEARNING

The Foundation sponsors innovative learning opportunities for teachers, including educator conferences and continuing educational opportunities that foster a professional culture of continuous development. The Foundation’s support of professional learning reaches across academic departments and  improves the retention of teachers who are leaders in their field.

STUDENT SUPPORT
Community Days, which allow students to participate in meaningful community service and earn their community service hours, are fully funded by the Foundation. The Foundation also supports teen mental health by funding Mental Health First Aid certification and training which has reached hundreds of students

BUILDING ENHANCEMENTS & TECHNOLOGY

A welcoming physical space and high-impact educational technology and software for our students are critical in the ever-changing education landscape. The Midtown Foundation invests in building enhancements and technology that optimize teaching, learning, and the student experience. 

What's Next?

There will ALWAYS be work to do.

Your donation of ANY amount makes a real and lasting impact for

every student - current AND future.

 

Our Mission

Founded in 1997,  the Midtown High School Foundation supports the education and preparation for life of all students at Midtown High School; encourages creative, caring, and energetic faculty and staff; enhances the physical setting and creates a community asset that fosters student development; and provides a conduit for friends to express their support for Midtown High School.

The Midtown HS Foundation is dedicated to preserving, maintaining and advancing the Midtown legacy. To that end, the Foundation exists as a source of capital for improvements to the physical plant and the educational mission of the school and serves as a platform for alumni to maintain connections with each other and with the school.

The Foundation also provides stewardship for a generous bequest from the Boys High Alumni Association, maintaining learning centers and other programs at Midtown and supporting college scholarships.
