RHS Foundation History
The Robinson High School Foundation (RHSF) was established in 2010 to provide volunteer and financial support to our school community. Through the generosity of community partners, alumni, parents, faculty and administrators, the Foundation has raised more than $340,000 to help improve the school community.

Why does RHS need a foundation?
A foundation sets goals and raises funds for improvements that may not be in the school district budget. Teacher/staff grants allow RHS faculty members to pursue classroom improvements, equipment needs, teaching aids and training that may not otherwise be available to them—ultimately benefitting the students. Without assistance from the RHS Foundation, many of these needs may go unmet or come out of the pockets of the teachers.

How can you help?
Support the RHS Foundation by becoming a Community or Family Partner. Attend the Foundation’s annual fundraising event. Volunteer to support the Foundation’s activities. Get involved and help a school that is rising to a higher level of excellence as the best high school in the county.
