At the Westside Foundation, we are committed to providing the resources and support needed for teachers and staff to personalize their teaching approach. We proudly collaborate with our generous community to ensure every student at Westside Community Schools (WCS) has access to academic excellence and tailored learning experiences that meet their unique needs.

Strategic Objectives

  • Fund Educational Excellence: Raise essential funds to sustain and enhance the district’s ability to deliver top-tier education and meet the diverse needs of all students in our community.
  • Support Innovative Programs: Fund initiatives and programs that are not covered by district budgets, helping to bring new ideas and opportunities to life for students and educators.
  • Celebrate Achievement: Recognize and reward excellence through student scholarships and teacher/staff awards that highlight the dedication and achievements of our school community.
  • Invest in Early Learning: Provide support for a high-quality early childhood program and the Club 66 (before/after school) program, ensuring children of all ages have the foundation they need to succeed.
