Established in 1988 as a non-profit public benefit corporation and organized under California law, the Foundation maintains a threefold mission:
The Foundation stewards a Permanent Endowment Fund in excess of $3,800,000.00 and growing through the One Thousand Panther Campaign currently underway, Memorial donations, Scholarship funds, cash and other financial bequests also contribute to this fund. Endowment funds are distributed annually as directed by the donor or estate. In addition the Foundation awards thirty-five scholarships each year to worthy seniors totaling over $107,000.00. Through the Panther Project Fund the Foundation also awards Grants in excess of $80,000.000, this amount can vary depending on market conditions.
In addition to funding faculty and staff projects, the Foundation sponsors the Student of the Month Luncheon, a program in which faculty members recommend outstanding students. Foundation representatives honor the selected students at a luncheon. In late spring, the students and their families are recognized again at a formal dinner.
Each year the Foundation hosts a Crab Feed, the always sold out Polenta Dinner, and the Fall Golf Tournament, and the Annual Alumni Show & Shine. They also sponsor Alumni sporting events and other social events. The Foundation also supports SRHS Class Reunions. We offer tours to reunion groups as well as assisting with BBQs.

The Foundation is administered by a Board of Directors that meet on the second Tuesday of each month of the academic year. Elected to a three-year term, the 25 directors serve without pay on a number of committees that ensure the success of Foundation activities and projects. Alumni, faculty and friends donate time, money, labor and materials to student recognition programs, faculty projects and campus improvement.
