The East Angel Foundation supports the East High School community each Fall through faculty and staff grants. Teachers, counselors, and staff are encouraged to submit grant requests to fund new projects and programs that enhance classroom instruction and curriculum, address educational barriers, and support diversity, equity, and inclusion at East High School. The EA Foundation’s Faculty and Staff Grants committee reviews the applications and distributes approximately $50,000 each October to support programs, events, and supplies for the school year.
Past grant awards have included money to buy:
- lab materials for new forensic science classes
- equipment to build robots in engineering
