Mission Statement
The Whitman High School Education Foundation (WHSEF) is an independent non-profit organization committed to supporting Walt Whitman High School's efforts to achieve and sustain academic excellence by enhancing the intellectual, social/emotional, and physical experience of all Whitman students and the Whitman community. We do this by: - funding projects that enhance the intellectual, social/emotional, and physical experience of students; - collaborating with faculty, administration, students and parent leadership on specific needs and priorities; - funding gaps in technology, program, facility, equipment, and professional development needs of the school; - raising funds as need; and - considering charitable support within the Whitman and MCPS communities as needs arise.
About This Cause
The Whitman High School Education Foundation (WHSEF) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization established in 2005 in response to parents’ desire to raise funds to create the outdoor courtyard area of the school. Over time, WHSEF’s mission has evolved into one focused on maintaining the excellence of the Whitman experience by supporting the school's unmet needs. As public funding has grown tighter and enrollment continues to increase, WHSEF’s work has become more critical. To accomplish its mission, WHSEF relies on contributions from parents and community members to award grants, including: Media Center support and modernization, technology and equipment, facility improvements, professional development opportunities for staff, and program enhancements. The all-volunteer board meets monthly throughout the school year to review grant requests. Board members collaborate with Whitman staff, and student and parent leadership to identify needs and priorities.
