Olympic High School Foundation Teacher Grants.
Classroom Grants
To ensure our teachers have the supplies and resources they need to enhance their classroom instruction, we offer Classroom Grants throughout the school year. These open-ended requests are evaluated based on need and impact and typically involve resources that are not provided by CMS. Once purchased, they remain the property of the school. Additionally, teachers can apply for study or travel grants to supplement classroom instruction.
Professional Development Scholarship Grants
Because the quality of our students’ education directly correlates with their teacher’s own education, each year we offer scholarship grants to help Olympic teachers pay for professional development opportunities. One professional development opportunity the Foundation likes to encourage Olympic teachers to consider is National Board Certification. Not only does this certification mean a higher salary for the teacher but also gives them the latest in tools and instruction to better connect with their students and enrich the learning experience.
