The Berkeley High School Development Group (BHSDG) is an independent nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation founded in 1991 by a group of parent volunteers to ensure the quality and excellence of Berkeley High School.
Our mission is to support and strengthen the educational experience of all Berkeley High School students, including students at Berkeley Technology Academy and Berkeley Independent Studies (9-12). BHSDG partners with the BHS administration, the Berkeley Athletic Fund, the Berkeley Public Schools Fund, and leadership from BHS small learning communities and departments to target funds efficiently.
In 2022-23, BHSDG managed almost $500,000 in donations and other revenue. With these funds, BHSDG was able to make grants to support teachers and students as they recovered from an unprecedented pandemic, including community-building, professional development, equipment, and educational enrichment opportunities.
Our ability to fund essential programs, materials, and training depends on your donations. We’re grateful for supporters like you who have already given this year and hope that you’ll consider an additional contribution.
