Your gift supports the whole of Oak Ridge High School. Foundation dollars have gone to the library, classroom technology, teacher development, campus and facilities work, and student scholarships.
Oak Ridge High School Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, EIN 68-0442001. There is no paid staff. Everyone who raises and spends this money is a volunteer.
The Foundation is the all-volunteer organization that raises money for the whole school. The library, classroom technology, teacher development, campus and facilities work, and student scholarships have all been funded this way.
In the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2025, the Foundation raised $136,505. Roughly 2,350 students attend Oak Ridge, so that came to about $58 per student for that year. Every gift moves that number.
Between 2023 and 2026 the Foundation put $232,016 back into Oak Ridge. That total was divided this way:
- Student programs -- 41.5 percent
- Teacher development -- 19.9 percent
- Technology -- 14.3 percent
- Campus and facilities -- 12.2 percent
- Classroom learning -- 7.7 percent
- Student support -- 4.4 percent
The fund-a-need at the Blue and Gold Gala on February 21, 2026 was library modernization.
The Foundation funds projects case by case.
