Did you know that OPUSD receives approximately $600 less per student from the state than the surrounding districts, and the burden of making up that funding gap falls to us. This is why we ask families to donate.
Your donation fuels the essential extras that make our school thrive, especially the tools and resources our teachers and students rely on every day:
Classroom supplies and teacher-requested materials
Educational software, learning apps, and student tech tools
Calculators, science instruments, and lab materials
Enrichment programs & classroom grants
College & Career Center support, clubs, teams and more
When you join the PFA, you gain a voice at our meetings, a vote on important matters, and the opportunity to make a real difference in the daily lives of our teachers, staff and your student!
The PFA Gives Donation Drive is our school’s annual fundraiser — no products to sell, no tickets to buy — just a meaningful way to directly support your child’s education. This direct donation fundraiser forms the forms the bedrock of our fundraising activities and allows OPHS to offer programs beyond what our state funds.
We suggest a donation of $250 per student, which includes your PFA membership. Whether it’s $25, $250, or more, any donation brings us closer to supporting every classroom, every club, and every student.
Membership is open to all OPHS parents, legal guardians, faculty and community members. Every paid household has a voting voice at PFA Meetings.

Many companies will match their employees' charitable donations dollar-for-dollar. This gives a boost to our fundraising efforts by raising thousands of extra dollars for our school!
Please check to see if your employer participates at Corporate Matching webpage or contact Parvathy Sushama, VP Membership/Corporate Matching at corporate_matching@ophspfa.com for more information.
In order to deliver a high-quality program for our students, we depend on voluntary donations from parents. Please know that ALL students will receive the same opportunities, experiences, and/or materials regardless of whether a contribution is made.
Please also know that meet our budget goal for this year, programs may have to be cut back or eliminated for lack of funding.
