Whitney High School Foundation for Educational Excellence
 
The Whitney High School Foundation for Educational Excellence (WHSFEE) was founded in 1989 as non-profit parents' organization with the following mission:
 
A. To act as liaison between different parents' organizations, alumni, and school.
B. To raise fund to help the school achieve Whitney High School's vision and mission:
 
(1) Vision - to be the best public college prep school in the world.
(2) Mission - to prepare academically proficient students for entrance to and success at their best-match university.
 
This coming school year, students and teachers will enjoy new technology and equipment worth $45,000.00 raised by the Whitney Foundation. Each student will also receive a free planner, provided by the Whitney Foundation. This would not be possible without the support of parents like you.
 
Please check the Whitney High School web site (www.whitneyhs.org) and learn more about the Whitney Foundation and what Foundation has done for students and school in the past.
 
Please come and join us at our monthly meetings (first Thursday evening of every month, 6:30 pm at WHS teachers' lounge). Please call one of the officers and we'll be happy to explain to you how to become a board member or committee member.
