Mission

Education is the great fault line that determines who is part of the American dream. A high quality education is a lifetime gift. To further the tradition of excellence for today’s and tomorrow’s students at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, a group of parents, alumni, teachers, along with business, community, and civic leaders, formed the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School Educational Foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that public education delivers its promise and gives all students at B-CC High School the skills they need to flourish and succeed.

The Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School Educational Foundation is neither an endowment nor a permanent fund. With no paid staff, it relies entirely on the generosity of its donors and the volunteer efforts of its Board of Directors. The Foundation works closely with the principal and school staff, as well as the PTSA, to identify unmet needs and raises the necessary funds from current and former B-CC families, alumni, friends, towns, and local businesses. It is a tax exempt charitable foundation with a nonprofit 501(c)(3) designation.


With your help, we fund the following Signature Programs:

The B-CC High School Educational Foundation helps all our students succeed in high school and find a pathway to college and lifelong success. We depend on the generosity of the B-CC community – alumni, faculty, parents, community members, businesses, and municipalities – to fund our three signature programs:
Time for Academic Progress offers after-school academic support to students at all levels.
CollegeTracks helps B-CC students overcome the hurdles standing between them and college. A significant number of our students don’t know how to apply to college or get financial aid.
Summer Academy is a three-week summer program that eases the transition to high school for incoming 9th grade students who have struggled academically in middle school.
The Foundation's Grants Program also funds professional development to help B-CC teachers hone their skills, equipment and supplies to improve classroom instruction, and start-up expenses for a variety of innovative programs.
