The Foundation is committed to refurbishing our library with a wide range of improvements, from new desks to moveable stacks, along with a new outdoor library space that gives students more places to read, study and collaborate. Come see all the great improvements underway!

We’re also funding an ASB position to support student leadership and keep Dons spirit strong across campus, and expanding academic counseling so every student gets guidance on classes, college and careers.

Keeping our campus safe is a top priority. Over the next five years, the Foundation will purchase 20 new security cameras to improve safety for everyone who visits campus. Along with golf carts and iPads, they help staff monitor and respond across our campus. We’ve provided transportation vans for safe, reliable travel to athletics, field trips and all student activities.

We also want students to feel comfortable on campus. The Foundation has purchased many picnic tables around campus, and continues to add more, so students have a place to eat and hang out. We’ve added bike racks for both e-bikes and regular bicycles, and we’re installing water refill stations so students have easy access to clean drinking water.

Beginning in 2020-21, the Foundation and the PTSA have been operating one joint fundraising campaign. For each of the past three years, the PTSA has received a portion of our raised funds to support their volunteer efforts and good work, including the Learning Enrichment Grants (LEG). The LEG program encourages our innovative teachers to offer impactful learning experiences for our students, from field trips and speakers, to enriching activities and out-of-the-box classroom thinking.

Beyond the Annual Fund, the Foundation helps connect SBHS with outside funding to support our students and families facing hardship. The Foundation helps to make sure this support reaches our students. The funding provides help with needs like food, housing and health care and basic needs through the school’s Resource Center, Wellness Center and Counseling Department. With these needs met, students can stay in school and focus on learning.

The Foundation spends around $10,000 every year to support our unique Dons culture. We do this by paying for breakfast and coffee at all our staff meetings, buying lunch for teachers and administrators who attend extra meetings and willingly participate in extra meetings, rewarding students who improve their GPAs, and hosting special events for families.
