Thank You For Your Support
The Ashbrook Foundation, Inc. (Foundation), established on January 15, 2017, is a nonprofit organization established to enrich student learning experiences and teacher effectiveness. Through a variety of fundraising efforts and relationships in the community, the Foundation will offer financial assistance for students, grants for teachers, support the arts and music instruction, athletic programming, fund technology, and provide for physical enhancements to the school.
It's through the generosity of our alumni and donors that the Foundation will be able to maintain the educational experience that has been historically present for over 9 decades originating from the opening of Gastonia High School in 1924, the name change to Frank L. Ashley Senior High in 1955 and ultimately the merger with Holbrook Senior High that led to the opening of Ashbrook High School in 1970.
To create and sustain a vehicle to provide financial support for Ashbrook High School.
To foster support and enhance the legacy of the entire Ashbrook family; past, present, and future, through financial assistance in all aspects of education.
You can change a child's life by sponsoring their education, medical care, and basic needs. Our partnership with local schools ensures that your support makes a lasting impact.
From community development to disaster relief, our programs provide support to those who need it most. Your donation can help us fund critical initiatives and make a difference in the world.
The Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of elected directors, whose members are professionals from many walks of life. Its members give time, expertise and financial resources, helping Ashbrook become one of the top public high schools in Gaston County and are committed to building successful partnerships with Ashbrook and its many generous supporters.
