Founders' Fund Mission Statement

Mission:
Established by a group of Signal Mountain parents to help bridge the gap between what the Hamilton County Department of Education will provide and what is needed for a superior college preparatory school, the Founders’ Fund has as its mission:

To provide a non-profit fundraising platform that will ensure the new Signal Mountain Middle/High School achieves the highest standard in public education



Goals:
The Founders’ Fund is concerned with establishing and successfully meeting three sets of goals: its own operational goals, the financial goals associated with the fundraising campaign, and the ambitious academic goals for the new school.

Founders’ Fund Goals:
1. Raise the funds needed to ensure the new school opens with and maintains the highest standards and top national programs

2. Raise the funds necessary to ensure that the new school opens with the equipment, technology, and supplemental teacher training to support academic, art, and athletic programs (not normally supplied by Hamilton County)

3. Promote strong community support, integration, and confidence in the school
