Who We Are
The MVLA High School Foundation is a non-profit organization that raises money to fund academic programs in the Mountain View-Los Altos High School District.
$1 Million-Grant Awarded to High School District
Record-Setting Gift to Fund Instructional Support, Academics, College and Career Prep
The Mountain View-Los Altos (MVLA) High School Foundation has given the Mountain View-Los Altos High School District a $1 million grant, the largest in the 30-year history of the non-profit that raises money to fund academic programs.
On May 2, 2012, at a gathering of approximately 50 board trustees, foundation board members, and school principals, MVLA Foundation President, Cindy Walden, presented the symbolic check to Superintendent Barry Groves.
“We cannot thank you enough for your generous and sustained support of academic excellence in our two public high schools,” said Groves. “When I ask graduating seniors what they have appreciated most about their experiences, time and again they say they have benefitted from the academic rigor and support because they feel prepared for their future. This is attributable in large part to the many programs funded by MVLA High School Foundation.”
Benefits Across the Community
Your donations to the MVLA High School Foundation benefit us all: students are more successful, residents enjoy a more cohesive community with better schools, and home owners see sustained property values.
A quality public education is priceless, but not free. Local and state funding for public education provides enough for only the most basic high school curriculum and programs. Fortunately, the MVLA Foundation enables us to act locally to bridge the funding gap between what taxes can cover and the program-rich environment that students, colleges, employers and our community value.
