What Does the Foundation Fund?

MVLA High School Foundation provides programs and support to  enrich the academic experience of every student in the district.

Every student in the MVLA High School District will benefit from Foundation-funded programs. Therefore, we hope that every high school family will contribute to the Foundation. Please consider the value of the programs to your student, and give what you can. It is important that all of us invest in our students, and the Foundation strives for 100% participation from the district's families. All donations are greatly appreciated by the entire MVLA community of students, faculty, staff, and parents.

Since these programs are provided across the district, individual schools or organizations such as PTSAs or booster groups could not fund them. The MVLA Foundation provides a means to keep our schools competitive.
