putting our youth first by in their future - Park Hill School District

Dear Park Hill Supporter,
This is an exciting time for both the Park Hill School District and
the Park Hill Education Foundation.
The District is enjoying historic levels of success in the classroom,
in the quality of its educational programs and facilities, and in the
value it delivers to its community. The Foundation has worked in
close partnership with the District to identify funding priorities
that provide the greatest educational benefits. Supplemental
funds from the Foundation provide numerous opportunities
to assist in educating our youth as well as offering special
opportunities for teachers to help them in furthering their skills in
the classroom.
The Foundation is uniquely positioned to provide opportunities
for community and philanthropically-mined people to contribute
to the future in a meaningful and long-lasting manner.
•Our scholarship programs continue rewarding district seniors
with college-level and future learning opportunities, while
our classroom grants encourage and reward teachers who
develop innovative teaching techniques enhancing students’
opportunities to learn.
•Our financial support of the Smart Start Summer School
program has provided funds to pilot an academic intervention
program designed to meet the individual needs of students.
Thus better preparing these students for the upcoming school
year and increasing their academic success.
•Our endowment funding opportunities provide the District
greater resources while offering donors an opportunity to
perpetually contribute to their community.
The Park Hill School District Education Foundation invites you
to join us in investing in our youth through these exciting and
meaningful opportunities and make a difference in our schools,
for our children and for our future.
