Stakeholder support serves as critical piece of student opportunities

Tacoma Public Schools is profoundly grateful for the hard work and generosity of our many partners who support our students and families. These valued stakeholders enable us to expand opportunities and create lasting impacts for all of our students.

These opportunities are available thanks to our community partners, including Tacoma Creates, private philanthropy, City of Tacoma, Pierce County, Tacoma Public Schools and individual donors.

We are honored to be among the recipients of a generous donation from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott. Her transformative funding bolsters programs like Beyond the Bell.

We are also grateful for the critical support of Sen. Maria Cantwell, whose congressional earmarks are instrumental in securing additional funding to expand and sustain these critical programs.
