Who We Are

Mission & History

GHS Basketball Team from 1914

The Gretna Public Schools Foundation was established in October of 1990. The Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization whose purpose is to be the connecting link between those who wish to give of their resources for the betterment of our schools and the children of the community who would be the beneficiaries of that generosity.

The mission of the GPSF is to nurture the Whole Child with educational excellence by honoring each teacher’s unique gifts for the fulfillment of the students’ individual aspirations.

The Foundation is growing, and that means our programs and services are as well. Our goal is to support all district students and staff. Our focus over the next three years (and beyond) is mental and behavioral Health. As the Foundation moves into the next chapter as an organization, it is vital for us to create new partnerships and expand our reach.
