In 2001, the forward thinking constituents at Norcross High School began a Foundation for Excellence to provide financial assistance for the education of future generations of Norcross students. Norcross High School is located 5300 Spalding Drive in Norcross, Georgia in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area. The history of Norcross High School dates back over 100 years in providing formal education for children throughout the Norcross community. Norcross High School currently educates over 2,800 students to become the future leaders of our community and country.
Norcross High School began the Foundation for Excellence with a generous gift from Mr. Paul Duke, developer of Technology Park in Norcross, GA. For the past seven academic years, the Foundation has received donations from hundreds of families to help fund programs and structures, including:
- Matrix sign that greets all school visitors
- Contributions to assist in funding the Duke House
- Media Center updates including books and equipment
- Teacher grants that impact our students
- Pavilion located by tennis courts providing shade and water
- Computer carts containing wireless laptops
- Trophy case in foyer
- Teacher scholarships for continuing education
The Norcross High School mission with its students from over 40 different countries is
“Achieving Excellence on the Wings of Diversity”. The Foundation is the epitome of the melting pot that is Norcross High School. The parents
and other community stakeholders are dedicating their dollars to provide well-educated and
well-rounded contributing members of society. We proudly admire the success of our alumni
as they attend the best universities in the world, become entrepreneurs of
their own corporations, or become world class athletes. We want the future leaders of our
country to be as diverse as the community from which they came.
As the Board of Directors of the Norcross High School Foundation for Excellence, we are asking for your support in our philanthropic work. The needs of the school include providing students assistance in the areas of academics, art, and athletics. We urge you to become part of providing for the legacy of the young people in our community.
Our Foundation is a 501 (c) (3)
