Gretna Public Schools Foundation

The Gretna Public Schools Foundation was established in October of 1990 to enhance the school's educational quality for the benefit of students and residents of the Gretna School District.
 


The Foundation is a non-profit, tax exempt organization whose purpose is to be the connecting link between those who wish to give of their resources for the betterment of our schools and the children of the community who would be the beneficiaries of that generosity.
 

The Foundation is guided by a Board of Directors who meet twice annually.  Each year the foundations awards thousands of dollars in grants to teachers, scholarships to students and faculty, funding for the Gretna Early Education Center, and recognizes excellence in teaching and service to the schools.  Programs supported by the Foundation can be as numerous and varied as the mind can imagine.
