PTSA Excellence Fund
The Austin High School Excellence Fund was established 28 years ago to help ensure continued excellence in academics and other student activities. Each year, staff needs far outweigh the available resources. The Excellence Fund committee assesses special requests from Austin High staff and 100% of the contributions are disbursed.
Thanks to the contributions of AHS parents, alumni and family foundations last year over $78,000 was available to allocate toward the enrichment of the Austin High academic, student and administrative activities. Some of last year’s purchases are: A Smartboard for the math department, Nystrom desk atlas, skill books for social studies, choral and instrumental sheet music, printers, ink cartridges, document cameras and projectors, History Alive text books, Debate tournament fees, Ipod for dance/PE, copper and plastic plates for printmaking, back curtain for the theatre, X&Y graph whiteboard for the math department, metronome, Dell laser printer, Subscription-Gale Database for the Library, US History videos, Goode’s world atlas, glass bead kit, ceiling mounted projector for the counseling center, link crew leaders operating funds, AP math exam prep question books, ceramics supplies, Ballet Folklorico, American Heritage dictionaries, rolling make-up storage case for the theatre department, Apple Imac for the fine Arts department, chairs for the new culinary arts café, Diana camera, converter analog to SDI for the CTE department, books for language arts department, art supplies, and a High def camcorder for the CTE department.
