Background Statement
Green Mountain High School is the home of Jeffco's only advanced learning Academy program, and we take great pride in offering students access to the most advanced and comprehensive academic, professional, social and athletic high school experience available in Jefferson County. This notable accomplishment is made possible through the collaborative efforts and commitments by the leadership, teachers, students, parents and community.
The Green Mountain High School Foundation, founded in 2009, is comprised of parents, community leaders, alumni and staff working together to inspire philanthropy that will ensure the personal and academic growth of all GMHS students. The GMHS Foundation continues to evolve and grow and as a result, has been able to begin providing financial support and services to a diverse number of academic and enrichment programs at the school.
Funds which are not specifically allocated to individual athletic, social, or activity based programs are dispersed through our Ram Opportunity Funding Program which allocates the funds raised based on a grant application system. Each fiscal year we disperse assets raised based on the following:
• 50% to short-term academic needs (examples include: learning center improvements, textbooks and specialty presenters)
• 30% to short-term environmental needs (examples include: technology, student assemblies, and classroom improvements)
• 20% to medium-term (3-5 years) academic or environmental needs.
