About FHSF

The mission of the Framingham High School Foundation is to financially supplement FHS extra-curricular programs (activities, arts, and athletics) which may otherwise be restricted due to budgetary limitations, because we firmly believe that student participation in extra-curricular programs improves academic, social, and emotional health. In the spring of 2002, the Framingham Public Schools were facing substantial financial challenges. A group of Framingham High School parents organized the Framingham High School Foundation (FHSF) to ensure continuation of extracurricular activities, arts and athletics regardless of imposed budgetary restrictions. Since its inception, FHSF has successfully accomplished this mission through a variety of efforts, including building stronger alliances with the MetroWest community, reaching out to FHS alumni, and applying for grants. Since 2003, FHSF has organized the Salute to Framingham. In 2014, FHSF also assumed responsibility for the FHS Holiday Marketplace. In 2016, 2017 and 2018, FHSF had the honor of being chosen as one of six local charity partners by members of the Team Framingham Boston Marathon team. In 2018, FHSF was thrilled to be a recipient of an extraordinary Middlesex Savings Bank 50,000 donation in connection with the Bank’s efforts to support education in communities in which it is located. All proceeds from these events and grants are used to support extracurricular activities, arts, and athletics at Framingham High School, as we firmly believe extracurricular activities improve students’ social, emotional and academic success.
