WHO WE ARE

Wish was founded in 2011 by a group of community education advocates and partners, specifically to help bridge the gap in state education funding and provide for student programs in the William S. Hart Union High School District. We serve nearly 23,000 students in grades 7 through 12. As a designated 501c(3) non-profit organization, the foundation acts as a separate and distinct entity that works alongside the Hart district to fund programs and initiatives not paid for by tax dollars alone.

    Please prove you are human by selecting the heart.

    Pre-COVID, this program provided out-of-circulation chromebooks to keep, to anonymously identified, socioeconomically disadvantaged students needing computer access. Post-COVID, this program also provided chromebooks to students needing access to distance learning, keeping them connected during school closures.

    With numbers of displaced and homeless students rising quickly during the pandemic, this ongoing program has distributed desks and chairs to any student in need, which has resulted in higher confidence and performance.

    A focus of our foundation since 2019 and vital since the Saugus High tragedy, WiSH established and/or funded wellness centers on 14 campuses district-wide. These centers are safe spaces for students to de-stress and take advantage of wellness resources.

    WiSH exclusively supports student programs district-wide, benefitting every single student.
