What We Fund
The FUHS Foundation provides funding across the district to ensure that all our students are offered a broad range of opportunities.
While government funding covers the basics, donations from parents and community enable supplemental programs that enhance our students’ educational experience — from STEM to applied arts and performing arts, to athletics and Robotics, plus college readiness programs.
In Fall 2024, the Foundation gifted $350,000 to support our students!
