The Spring Valley High School Education Foundation wants every Spring Valley student at every level of learning to achieve academic success. Established in 1983 to raise funds and promote educational excellence at Spring Valley High School, it is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization governed by an active Board of Directors. Board members (alumni, parents, educational, corporate and civic leaders) work together to provide students with the very best resources and opportunities available.
The Spring Valley Education Foundation has been tremendously successful, infusing hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and in-kind donations into the school. The exceptional environment these gifts make possible has helped our award-winning high school to consistently excel and to be named one of the best in the nation.
