#SBHSStrong helps cover basic needs of individual students and their families to keep our most vulnerable students in school and on track.
In spring 2020, the Foundation began working with SBHS school administrators and counselors to identify the needs of families during the COVID-19 pandemic, and address gaps in services.
Parents, alumni, and community members joined the Foundation in raising $76,000 for SBHS families impacted by COVID-19. Thanks to all of you who donated to help our SBHS community.
If your family needs helps during the summer, please contact your student’s academic counselor to discuss your situation, or contact Principal Simmons. The Foundation will provide funds at the request of school personnel on a case-by-case basis.
#SBHSStrong began in response to the unprecedented need caused by the Thomas Fire and Montecito debris flow. Thanks to the generous support of our Dons families and a substantial grant from Direct Relief, the Foundation was able to support all current families who were identified as having suffered loss of personal property and/or reduced income due to evacuation orders and the inability to work because of business and road closures. In total, $107,850 was allocated to 115 students in 2018.
