Purpose of the Academic Foundation

The Academic Foundation is a non-profit association devoted to supporting, enhancing, and promoting academic opportunities for the Salem Community High School. The Foundation is run by a volunteer board of directors. Opportunities are made available to staff at SCHS for implementing programs in their classrooms and throughout their departments. One of the opportunities is the mini-grants made available to teachers each year. Mini-Grants support, encourage and facilitate great teaching ideas. Mini-Grants are modest cash awards that help educators make a positive difference in their classrooms. Teachers or departments may also submit for consideration special projects that require funding not available through district funds. Although this foundation was not started for scholarship purposes, it has become a big part of what we do. Support for all of this is made possible through memberships fees, donations, and fundraisers. You can help make a difference by donating or becoming a supporting member.
