Membership & Application Process
​

The Foundation of La Jolla High School was founded in 1983 and is a non-profit, tax exempt, public benefit corporation, whose primary purpose is to enhance the overall educational experience of students by raising, managing and disbursing funds to support academic, athletic, building and grounds, and other needs of the school for which funding is not available.

Foundation Board meetings are held monthly during the school year. Summer meeting dates vary. Director responsibilities for the 2022-2023 year are described here.

We have just kicked off our 2023-2024 membership drive. If you are interested in joining the Board, please complete a Prospective Member Form and contact Keri Riney, Membership Chair, at keririney@gmail.com.
