Seeking Your Support
Local businesses, retirees, civic organizations, and individuals without children in our schools all play an essential role in creating opportunities for students. From sponsoring teacher incentives to volunteering in classrooms, mentoring students, or contributing to major capital campaigns, there are countless ways to support our schools.
Explore the ways big and small that you or your organization can make a difference.
Local Businesses Who Support Our Teachers
Local businesses can support our schools by pledging a small monthly gift for teacher and student incentives, contributing an annual gift for our staff kickoff, offering discounts for GMSD staff, or connecting with individual schools to sponsor a one-time event or program.
Join the Germantown Education Foundation
Invest in the future of education by contributing to the Germantown Education Foundation’s Annual Fund, Endowments, or Teacher Grants. Your support directly impacts students and educators, providing innovative resources, inspiring programs, and life-changing opportunities that elevate learning in our schools.
Instructional Partnerships
GMSD partners with local businesses to provide valuable opportunities like work-based learning, job shadowing, internships, guest speakers in classrooms, and career fairs for students of all ages. These programs help students explore careers, build skills, and connect with their community.
Local Civics Groups & Community Service
Local civic groups can visit our schools to perform community service while connecting with students through mentoring and collaborative activities. We can also bring Learn More About GMSD presentations to your group or organization, featuring our superintendent and students. Some of our regular partners include: The Germantown Kiwanis Club, Leadership Germantown, Play Like a Champion, The Germantown Women's Club, Local Realtors Associations, LGAA, The Germantown Chamber of Commerce, and many more!
