Who We Are

We are committed parents, neighbors, business people and advocates for educational excellence.  Since 1984, we have raised funds, in the face of shrinking school budgets, to support academic programs in the Mountain View-Los Altos High School District.

Foundation Awarded

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 provide 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.

Every student in the MVLA High School District will benefit from Foundation-funded programs. Therefore, we strive for 100% participation from the district's families. All donations are greatly appreciated by the entire MVLA community of students, faculty, staff, and parents.

What People Say About the Foundation

"With the foundation's investment in lower class sizes for freshman students, the transition from middle to high school is much smoother... As a result of our foundation's investment in our counselors and College and Career Centers, more of our students are gaining admission into their first choice colleges."    
- Dr. Barry Groves, MVLA Superintendent

"The Foundation has allowed all three high schools to maintain the best possible learning environment for all of our students... We would not be the schools that we are today without the support of the MVLA Foundation."     - Wynne Satterwhite, LAHS Principal
