Tam High Foundation
The Tam High Foundation is a fundraising organization that fosters the academic excellence and emotional and physical well-being of all Tam students. In partnership with Tam High faculty and staff, the Foundation funds grants that provide innovative programs, cutting-edge tools, and equitable educational opportunities to provide every student with a pathway to success. With community support, our efforts make Tam High both a top academic high school and an extraordinary experience.
| Building Momentum Across Campus |
| It’s hard to believe Tam has already been back in session for a month. Fall athletics are well underway, classrooms are in full swing, and next week marks the end of the first grading period. We’re also already seeing the positive impact of Tam’s new phone-free policy. With fewer distractions in the classroom, students are more focused on learning—and just as important, there’s more face-to-face connection happening around campus.As the school year gains momentum, so does the work of the Tam High Foundation. Your donations are already supporting student wellness, enrichment, classroom resources across campus, and Fall Grants that bring to life teachers’ innovative ideas. Our goal is to raise $868,600 by December 31, and to date we’ve raised $220,000. Thank you to everyone who has already contributed. We’re grateful for the generosity of our Tam community and excited about all that we can accomplish together for our Hawks this year. |

Grants: Our Mission in Action
GRANTS: Our Mission in Action
At the heart of the Tam High Foundation’s mission is supporting all Tam students by giving teachers the resources to enrich and enhance the educational experience.
Through our Fall and Spring grant cycles, teachers identify what they need most in their classrooms and apply directly to THF for funding. From essential resources to bold, highly innovative ideas, we welcome proposals that help our teachers bring learning to life and create meaningful opportunities for students.
Look out for Grants Spotlights in upcoming newsletters and in our posts on Facebook and Instagram. Our Fall Grants applications are due from teachers on 9.25 so we are in full swing and excited to put your donations to work!
