Educating students is a task that is never complete. It’s on-going and needs continued support.
The purpose of our Foundation is to generate significant financial support for projects which otherwise would not be possible within the budget of our district, while also creating scholarships for our well deserving seniors to further their education.
With generous donations… both are possible.

“I have had the opportunity to get to know some of the families and community as an elementary school teacher at Castle Rock in Woodlake. I see the potential in the students I interact with at the beginning of their school journey. By supporting the WHS Foundation you directly support the dreams and aspirations of these students, which in turn will forever impact the future generations to come.”
— Nancy Clausen Gordon — President, WHS Foundation Board
