Edge Foundation Board
The Edge School vision is to make the world better by graduating students who aspire to achieve their personal best. The school's vision is supported by the Edge School Foundation through developing alumni connections and a strong philanthropic culture within the School community of student-athletes, parents, alumni, and its academic, athletics, and administrative staff.
Through a variety of distinct but equally important fundraising activities, the Foundation helps to maintain the Edge School as a leading educational and training organization.
The Edge School Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of alumni, donors, Edge parents, parents of alumni, and business and community leaders. The Foundation Board volunteers are dedicated to increasing community awareness, building relationships, and fundraising.
