Every year parents, alumni and businesses have been generous with donations of time and money.  Because of the generous support from the community, Miramonte High School is able to provide resources to advance education and character development at Miramonte High School.

Your contributions will support educational opportunities for current and future students and enable MHS to model the highest standard for secondary education.

As a public school, there are many needs at Miramonte for which public funding is inadequate. Each parent organization services a different set of needs. Consequently, there are many ways to give to Miramonte during online registration or anytime through the webstore:

1.      Support education at Miramonte by donating to the Miramonte Parents’ Club in addition to your EFO contribution. You may donate to the Parents’ Club in one or more of the following ways:

·   Membership

·   E-scrip

·   Wall of Excellence

·   At the Workplace

3. Support visual and performing arts programs at Miramonte by making a contribution to EFO and the Visual & Performing Arts Association.

4. Support Class Activities by making the annual class activities donation for your grade level.  Parents and students organize activities to raise funds for Class Activities such as Junior Ball, Senior Ball and Grad Night. Funds raised enable the Classes to maintain reasonable ticket prices for these events thus enabling all Miramonte students to participate. Funds raised by your Class are restricted for use for your grade level activites.

Miramonte and EFO working together

Together,the Miramonte Parents' Club and EFO provide essential funding for annual education costs at Miramonte. On a combined basis, the two organizations provide approximately 7% of the annual academic funding per student.

Miramonte Parents' Clubraises money solely for use at Miramonte. For the 2009-2010 school year the Parents’ Club will provide approximately $300,000 or $300 per family towards academic support.  The Parents’ Club supplies much needed materials and instructional supplies for classrooms and laboratories. It provides significant funding for student programs and activities as well as lab equipment and classroom technology.

EFO raises money for all schools in Orinda including Miramonte, Orinda Intermediate School, and the four elementary schools.  EFO asks for a contribution on a per student basis and allocates funds to each school based on student population, striving to provide the same school experience for each student.  For the 2008-2009 school year, EFO will provide $582,000, or about $440 per student, to Miramonte. This will cover salaries and benefits to maintain class size reduction and additional counselors and assistants. EFO also provides funding for enrichment programs and visual and performing arts support.

It's so important that all parents support the fundraising campaigns of both Miramonte Parents’ Club and EFO. Every Miramonte teacher and student will benefit!

Boosters  is the sole organization that raises funds for after school sports. These funds cover costs for the athletic trainer, weight room supervisor and equipment and supplies for all sports teams.
