Support Our Educators - Teacher/Classroom Grants

Southwest Preparatory School Education Foundation
Supporting Students. Strengthening Classrooms. Building Community.
The Southwest Preparatory School Education Foundation partners with families, businesses, and community supporters to provide resources that enrich teaching, inspire learning, strengthen campus culture, and expand opportunities for students across Southwest Preparatory School.
