East Mountain Foundation

Our History

The East Mountain High School Foundation was formed in 1996 to accept the donation of twenty-six acres of land from Roger Cox and Mountain Ranch. With the help of many generous community members, the Foundation was able to secure a loan from First Community Bank that allowed us to build the East Mountain High School campus. Today, the Foundation works tirelessly to raise funds for East Mountain High School.

The EMHS Foundation supports East Mountain High School by providing support to enhance the staff and student experiences.

Why Give to EMHS

SUPPORT THE EMHS FOUNDATION

Why does a public charter school need to raise money? The state only provides a certain amount of funding to a charter school. State funding is an essential foundation, but doesn’t allow for the level of excellence our students and families are seeking. To support the EMHS mission of preparing students for college and career excellence, the EMHS Foundation gives directly to EMHS academic and extracurricular programs.

The EMHS Foundation supports the school in its fundraising efforts. These include:

• Providing financial support for classroom materials and needs outside the regular budget
• Supporting the school’s capital and infrastructure goals in order to provide the best environment possible for student learning
