Los Gatos High School New Millennium Foundation

Making a Difference…for Every Student!

The LGHS New Millennium Foundation (NMF) is a non-profit organization created and managed by a volunteer community of Los Gatos High School parents, alumni, teachers, and administrators.  With the mission to make a difference, NMF raises funds to enhance the education and experience of each and every LGHS student.

Since it was founded in 2000, NMF has raised over $2.6 million dollars through private donations and fundraising events.   Through the years, NMF has made a difference for LGHS students by funding: computers, microscopes, calculators, headphones, digital recorders, a library online database, materials and books, the CASSY counseling service, Link Crew and Out Reach programs, a loop communication system, theater sound system, math streaming curriculum, social studies database, cabinets, lockers, trophy cases, exercise equipment, stadium lights, the activities director stipend, home economics design books and dress forms, Reality Check publication, LGHS website, turnitin.com, and much more.

In light of diminishing state and local education budgets, NMF’s support to LGHS will become more instrumental, making up the difference with supplemental funding.   NMF’s ability to make up the difference will rely heavily on the financial involvement and continued support from LGHS families and the LGHS community.

Thank you for helping NMF make a difference…for every LGHS student!
