The Alamo Heights School Foundationâs mission is to enhance academic excellence for every student with a focus on funding teachers and staff. The Alamo Heights School Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that was established in 1971 to support the Alamo Heights Independent School District and is operated by a staff and board of trustees comprised of parents, alumni, and concerned citizens. Initially conceived to oversee scholarships, the Foundation began to augment the curriculum and programmatic needs in the late 1980s. The Foundationâs focus has changed over time as the Districtâs needs have changed. At this time the Foundation actively raises money to provide funding for teachersâ salaries. Since its inception, the Foundation has provided $12 million in private funding to support teachers and innovative programs in the District.
