Carson City School District
Representatives from the Southwest Gas Foundation made a $10,000 donation to the Carson City Schools Foundation at the June 25 School Board meeting. The money was given to support the Jump Start College Program at Carson High School.
In a joint venture with Western Nevada College, the Jump Start program allows students to complete their senior and junior years of high school simultaneously with their freshman and sophomore years of college. Students in the program typically earn their college associates degree, often prior to receiving their high school diploma.
The Carson City Schools Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting community involvement and investment in the public schools of Carson City. This project is one of the many results of the “Empower Carson City 2027″ Strategic Plan, a five-year strategic plan for extraordinary schools built by the community of Carson City.
The foundation was created to increase student achievement through philanthropic investment and involvement. Established by the Carson City School District’s Board of Trustees, the foundation promotes education programs that traditional funding sources may not be able to reach.
