About Us

Our Mission

Support the students, faculty and administration of Ballard High School and enrich the school’s programs and activities so that Ballard High School will be a world-class learning center for the benefit of the Seattle Community

Specific areas of focus foster a world class education in a public school

Over the past two decades the Ballard High School Foundation has invested over $4 million in support of the students, staff and facilities at Ballard High School. We keep student success front and center, partnering with school leadership to prioritize our funding to meet the most urgent needs of students and make the most of community generosity.

Whether supporting existing programs or serving as a catalyst for new programs, the Foundation’s impact in three areas has been clear and ongoing. These have become the Pillars of the Ballard High School Foundation:

• Student Success
• Program Excellence
• Access To Innovation
