Review for Canyon Crest Academy Foundation Inc, San Diego, CA, USA
Phenomenal organization that raises money for student programs at a public high school. Funds almost all of the after-school and extracurricular activities at the school, sports, arts, academic teams. My student benefited from the programs funded by the foundation, and it is doubtful she would have had the same career trajectory without the programs funded by the foundation. Those programs were instrumental in getting her into an incredible university and internships.
I have found the staff and board leadership to be impeccable. The organization is audited annually and has seen phenomenal growth over its 14 year history. I have volunteered in many capacities and all of my volunteer time has been well spent and even fun.
There is a tiny, local group of disgruntled parents, including Del Mar Mom, who regularly attend school board meetings to malign school board members and foundations. Their issues stem from their students' failure to make a team, or be cast in a play, or have personal success. Rather than take any personal responsibility, they blame teachers, staff, and administration for their failures as parents. They are helicopter parents who have crashed and burned.
Please, form your own opinion about the foundations in this district. Volunteer, and you will surely find that they are a huge asset to the community.
