Programs described in its return (3)
- $471,510 spent. The Woodrow Wilson High School Foundation Feeder Teacher Impact Fund is our annual teacher grant program that was crafted in collaboration with the Communities Foundation of Texas. Thanks to community supporters and donors, we have continued to grow our grant program since its initial founding in 2019. The program honors the WWHSCF Founding Vice President, Gary Griffith, a Woodrow alum, former Dallas City Council member, and outstanding community volunteer and leader. Our grant program continues to honor Garys continued community impact and service by celebrating and awarding our feeder patterns innovative teachers, staff and community leaders who are inspiring the next generation of talent. In fact, every campus in the Woodrow feeder pattern has received a grant that has either piloted, deepened, or expanded impactful classroom and campus projects.
- $57,618 spent. The Woodrow Wilson High School Community Foundation Scholarship Program. Former DISD School Board Trustee and current Texas Education Agency Commissioner, Mike Morath crafted our scholarship program and served as the founding chair of the Scholarship Advisory Committee. It is also important to note that most of the scholarships are being fully endowed/or on their way to being endowed. With the help of WWHSCFs scholarship, these students have gone on to countless prestigious schools in Texas and across the nation. It is through the support of organizations such as WWHSCF that is helping put East Dallas and its public schools on the map as a place for quality, equitable public education.
- Dallas ISD Candidate Forum. This event gives our community the opportunity to hear directly from those seeking to serve on the Dallas ISD Board of Trustees. We aim to host a balanced, respectful, and engaging forum where each candidate has equal opportunity to share their vision and address key issues impacting our schools.
