What We Do
The Gretna Public Schools Foundation's mission is to nurture the whole child with educational excellence by honoring each teacher’s unique gifts for the fulfillment of the students’ individual aspirations.
The Foundation is growing, and that means our programs and services are as well. Our goal is to support all district students and staff. Our focus over the next three years (and beyond) is mental and behavioral Health. Our programs include:
- Classroom Grants
- Educational Excellence Awards
- Mental & Behavioral Health
- Scholarships
- Student Needs
The Foundation is committed to supporting educational opportunities that inspire learning, enrich teaching, and maximize innovative opportunities for all students and educators within the Gretna Public Schools district.
