MARSHFIELD HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI FUND ENHANCES LEARNING!

The Marshfield High School Alumni Fund was set up by graduates form Marshfield High School’s class of 1954. The founders discovered that a very high percentage of the class had gone to college, graduate school, and beyond. They felt they owed their success to the superb teaching and instruction they received while at Marshfield High School. They set up a fund that would award grants to teachers at Marshfield High School. The grant program was designed to enhance and reward innovative teaching, learning, and special motivational activities at the high school level.

The fund has given 11 grants for $ over the past six years. The fund has sponsored a very diverse range of projects. It has supported students attending a live Beowulf production, equipment for the Physics Lab to study car collisions and structural design, the purchase of graphing calculators for the chemistry laboratory, a ceramic tile mural, a landscaping project for the area around the new Marshfield High School Sign, a new program to help incoming freshman to “Relate” to the High School, and last year a project was approved to help in the construction of an outdoor science classroom.

The fund advisors have reached out to other graduating classes, to give back to MHS, for their great education, through this fund. If you are interested in donating, please contact the Marshfield Area Community Foundation.
