The mission of the Foundation is to enhance the educational environment at Newport Heights Elementary School. We accomplish our mission through these initiatives:


Raising funds through parents and the community and working with school’s principal, Somer Harding, to allocate those funds to augment the schools teaching capabilities.
Funding additional academic personnel – such as a Shark Tank co-teacher, library assistant, instructional assistants and supplemental math and reading teachers.
Providing cutting edge technology to the classrooms and in the Shark Tank, where children design, create and engineer, along with large format audio/visual/internet capabilities for all classrooms. 
Monies raised by the Foundation also support extended learning programs, expansion of the art program, and music.

The resources the foundation provides fill a significant gap in educational funding that is not provided by the district. With these additional resources every child at NHES is provided a significantly improved learning opportunity that has produced dramatic and proven results.
