As students and teachers settle into the rhythm of the school year, the Tam High Foundation Board has been busy behind the scenes, reviewing grant applications from more than 20 teachers across campus. These grants are at the heart of what we do—providing funding for programs, resources, and opportunities that enrich the educational experience for all Tam High students. We’re looking forward to announcing our Fall grant awards in mid-November!

At the same time, our Annual Donation Campaign is well underway. Thanks to the generosity of our Tam High community, we’ve raised $350,000 toward our $866,000 annual fundraising goal. These funds support both our Fall and Spring grant cycles, helping us respond to the needs of teachers and students throughout the school year. To everyone who has already donated, thank you! Your support makes a meaningful difference. For those who haven’t yet had a chance to participate, there’s still time to help us reach our goal. Every donation, at any level, brings us closer.

classroom and onto San Francisco Bay this past week.

Some of the most meaningful learning happens beyond the classroom! Through our Experiential Learning Grants, part of THF’s recurring grant allocations developed in partnership with Tam High’s principal, we support a wide range of field trips that bring learning to life.

Here’s a glimpse of the incredible experiences THF is helping make possible this year:Hands-on research aboard a 90-foot research vessel on the SF Bay for Marine biology studentsLive performances at Marin Theatre CompanyTrip to the California Academy of Sciences, Exploratorium, and SFMOMAA West African drumming workshopLive performances at Marin Theatre Company and SF SymphonyA behind-the-scenes look at KQED for journalism students.

Every Grade. Every Student. One Tam High.

These are more than field trips. They’re opportunities to discover new interests, gain new perspectives, and experience the world beyond Tam High—all made possible through the generosity of our community.

Tam Musicians in Concert

Tam High’s talented musicians have a busy season of performances ahead, and one of the best ways to show your support is simply to be in the audience! Since 1995, the Tam High Foundation has provided more than $20 million in funding to enrich the educational experience for all Tam students, filling gaps in state and local funding. For our music program, THF donations help fund guest artists, musical instruments, technology, concerts, and more—giving students opportunities to learn, create, and perform. We encourage you to see them play live!
