Thank you so much for supporting HTH International!

Dear HTHI Families, Welcome to the annual High Tech High International (HTHI) Parent Association (PA) Fundraising Campaign, called International’s Future Fund (IFF)!   What is the HTHI PA Fundraising Campaign, which provides critical support to enrich our students' learning? The International Futures Fund (IFF) is High Tech High International’s Parent Association fundraising campaign to support our school.  This fundraising campaign supports the programs that make High Tech High a unique, world-renowned educational experience (have you watched Most Likely to Succeed, a documentary about the HTH approach?) – things like college tours and classroom projects. It is a direct investment in each of our students’ futures.   Why do we need the IFF? Our school's budget is tight. Once the basics are covered – salaries, facilities, classroom furniture – very little is left for the very things that make HTHI a top-tier high school – internships, externships, special projects, immersion week, college tours.   Each Year the HTHI PA works hard to raise money to DIRECTLY support our students in each and every grade. The money we raise makes a critical difference in our student's educational experience!    What will IFF fund this year?  HTHI International’s Future Fund provides funding for a variety of projects and educational activities at every grade level. There is so much enrichment that is possible for HTHI students with this support. This year our top priorities are…. FIELD TRIPS AND COLLEGE VISITS for every grade level: This year each grade level will be planning fun excursions – opportunities to be in the community, seeing how their learning relates to the real world. The students will visit and explore colleges and go on field trips that relates to their coursework. Each grade also plans special field trips to tour colleges throughout California!  This is such a highlight for each and every student at HTHI and even a small donation is so incredibly helpful in creating these college tour experiences for HTHI students.   PROJECT MATERIALS, TECHNOLOGY AND SUPPLIES: THIS LIST IS LONG! It includes updating technology and enriching project materials needed to allow our children to have amazing hands-on experiences creating projects. Materials and tools are needed to build the amazing projects that you see at the exhibitions held throughout the year.

Help us reach our GOAL that all High Tech High International Families support the school We are grateful for ANY AND ALL donations ($5, $10, $20, $60, $100, or more)!  Your donation is tax deductible and makes a meaningful difference in your student’s educational experience!

We also very warmly welcome support for HTH International in a wide variety of ways.  We can't do any of this enriching work without the valuable volunteers who help out with the HTHI PA.  Volunteering in support of your student's school also makes such an important difference and there are so many ways to get involved, from one-time events, to time limited planning, to ongoing roles.  The richness of this school community rests in the richness of the families that make up our village!  Please email HTHI-PA Communications at hthipa@gmail.com to find out more.  We are so grateful for the opportunity to volunteer together in support of our fabulous school!

Thank you so much for supporting HTH International!! Your participation is greatly appreciated!
