About

Mission

The mission of the Patrick Henry High School (PHHS) Foundation is to provide financial and volunteer support for the benefit of PHHS students, teachers, and administrators.

What We Do

The PHHS Foundation secures tax-deductible donations that are used to support school staff and student teams and clubs. The Foundation acts as a fiscal sponsor for school-related groups, and also accepts unrestricted donations that it regrants based on requests to help fulfill unmet needs.

Additionally, in collaboration with school employees and volunteers, the PHHS Foundation hosts meaningful school events like annual staff and teacher appreciation gatherings and recognitions for student excellence.

Examples of past and ongoing PHHS Foundation supports include:

• Classroom and extra curricular enrichment & supplies

• Non-school-funded field trips

• Teacher & staff appreciation breakfast

• 4.0 student celebrations

• Senior gifts

Who We Are

The PHHS Foundation is led by a volunteer Board with the support of PHHS families, alumni, neighbors, and friends – LIKE YOU!

The Board meets on the third Thursday of each month during the school year. We welcome participation by PHHS stakeholders and encourage all to get involved.
