Please Support Our Robinson High School Foundation
 
The Robinson High School Foundation raises funds to support our school when county funds are not available.  This money make a huge difference in the daily lives of our teachers and students.  Projects include funding teacher grants for classroom and curriculum enhancements, supporting our PTSA and making improvements to the school grounds. The Foundation is the primary sponsor of The Cube and the Naviance/Family Connect software for college and career planning (an integral tool for our students' future planning). Recent school improvements include enhancing auditorium acoustics, installing a sun shade to the lunch area and providing multiple water bottle filling stations on campus.  The teacher and student feedback has been outstanding! 
 

We hope to continue to make improvements but can only do so with the support of our Community and Family partners. Many of our partnerships include tickets to our Appreciation Party later in the school year.  The event will provide a great way to engage with other Robinson families.  Additionally, we will have an online auction in the fall which will be open to all RHS families and friends.
 
It has never been easier to support our school!  You can sign-up and pay for your partnership online at:
