The Trust’s Mission |
| The Trust’s mission is to provide Harvard’s
schools with supplemental curriculum support, equipment,
extra-curricular experiences, and staff development,
and to broaden community awareness, involvement, and
confidence in our students and our schools. |
|
Through its grants program, the
Trust distributes funds to specific projects and
opportunities submitted to the board of directors
by teachers, administrators, parents, and students. |
| The Trust is independent of all municipal and school boards
and teacher organizations. It acts, however, in harmony with
the schools’ educational goals. It is governed by a
board of directors consisting of parents and community leaders.
|
History of the Trust |
| The Harvard Schools Trust was formed in 1989 as
a nonprofit, exclusively educational and charitable
organization to raise funds to supplement the curriculum
and activities of the Harvard
Public Schools. |
