Our Mission is to Provide Academic Excellence for All Students
The Woodside High School Foundation is a volunteer-run nonprofit organization whose sole purpose is to raise funds to close the gap between public funding and the cost of a high-quality education. We raise money for academic programming identified by the school administration that will have a significant impact on the quality of education of all the students.

Our Campaign Goals
Raise $1,750 per student
As a diverse socio-economic community, we know a $1,750 contribution may not be possible for all families, and others will be able to donate multiples of this amount. We welcome gifts of all sizes, and hope that those who are in a position to give more will do so. Please consider helping bridge the gap for others. Each and every gift makes a difference!
50% Participation by School Families
Your participation matters! Today, more than ever, Woodside High School relies on the support of our families and broader community. Donations to WHSF provide WHS with support that touches every student. We can only do this with your help!
WHSF’s Impact
• Maintain current enhanced academic programming and smaller class sizes
• Grow the elective offering
• Sustain 3 additional counselors:
2 College Counselors
1 Guidance Counselor
• Continue the College Access Program and the Mental Health Center
Woodside High School has the advantage of being culturally, socioeconomically, and academically diverse.
We are proud that 95% of our graduates go on to college, which speaks to the high-quality education provided by our dedicated teachers and staff to all students. The additional programs funded by the Foundation cater to our community’s varied learning needs and would be impossible without generous donations from families and the community.
