The mission of the Foundation is to provide financial support for the Woodland Hills School District in order to create solutions to ensure motivation, opportunities, goal achievement, and the highest level of quality education for students, faculty, and staff.
Since recently merging with the Woodland Hills Academic Foundation, the WHF can now claim a combined existence since 1999. The combined Foundation is an even stronger impassioned team of parents, community and business leaders, and educators who live and work in Woodland Hills communities.

To the right is a short video from Dr. Calinger, Superintendent of the Woodland Hills School District discussing his vision, as well as, how the Foundation fits into that vision.
Below are the Foundation's Core Beliefs:
Why are we so passionate? It is important to understand that Woodland Hills supports students across the complete spectrums of socio-economic, ethnic and learning abilities, which requires more robust programming. Add to this state and federal funding is decreasing, there are new requirements from unfunded government-mandated testing, and the population continues to decline as families move further out decreasing the tax revenue...all this results in a challenging situation for public school districts like ours.
The Foundation can change all of that. With our commitment — and your help — we can support the new Woodland Hills School District leaders to be successful in their vision…after all, it’s the same as ours. We want every child to learn at the highest levels possible, not just at their current potential.
We want every child to be able to extend his or herself beyond what they are capable of achieving today. To do that, we need the most innovative curriculum, the best teachers, the best administrators and the best communities to foster that development and growth.
