Who We Are

Alamo Heights School Foundation is a consistent support for our schools in a constantly changing environment.

The mission of the Alamo Heights School Foundation is to unite our community to invest in our schools, address insufficient state funding, and empower our teachers and staff to help every student achieve their full potential.

Our vision is to ensure that Alamo Heights ISD remains the undeniable first choice for families and educators — a district driven by a powerful, united community. We’re building a future where every child has access to extraordinary opportunities, teachers are empowered and competitively compensated, and sustainable funding ensures an exceptional education no matter the obstacles. Together, we’re continuing to demonstrate what’s possible in public education.

History

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 directors comprised of parents, alumni, and concerned citizens. Initially conceived to oversee scholarships, the Foundation began to augment the curriculum and programmatic needs of the district in the late 1980s. The Foundation’s focus has changed over time as the District’s needs have changed. At this time, the Foundation actively raises money to provide funding for teachers’ salaries. Since its inception, the Foundation has provided $15 million in private funding to support teachers and innovative programs in the District.
