The District 230 Foundation is a partnership
between community volunteers and school leaders to provide educational opportunities and services for students beyond what
the typical budget can fund. The Foundation provides grants that bring teachers' creative ideas to life for students, as well
as scholarships to graduating seniors from Sandburg, Stagg and Andrew High Schools.
Last year, the District 230 Foundation provided grants to over thirty faculty members in an effort
to provide students with enhanced educational opportunities beyond the traditional means. Overall, the
Foundation has provided more than $85,000 in grants over a four-year span. Also last year, the Foundation inducted eleven new members into the District’s Legacy
Hall, which recognizes outstanding alumni who have used their education and experience to become successful, positive contributors
to society. The Foundation is currently seeking nominations for the Legacy Hall class of 2012.
Applications for nominations can be found under the “Legacy Hall” tab.
Our summer golf outing
drew over 120 individuals to Silver Lake Country Club with all proceeds going towards grants and special projects.
On February
25, 2012, the Foundation will be hosting Chicago’s legendary sketch comedy theatre, The Second City’s Laugh
Out Loud Tour, which will appear at Carl Sandburg High School’s Performing Arts Center. Tickets
go on sale in November. More information can be found under the “Second City” tab.
