One of the most important decisions we make as parents and guardians is choosing to send our children to Piedmont schools. Here, students benefit from exceptional academics led by passionate and dedicated educators. From the playgrounds where friendships begin to the classroom programs that inspire curiosity and creativity, every element of our schools contributes to a well-rounded, mindful, and engaging educational journey.
None of this would be possible without community support.
Each year, PEF partners with PUSD to analyze the budget: all projected expenses, minus state funding and local parcel tax revenue. The difference—what we call “the gap”—is the amount our community must raise to maintain the quality of education our students deserve. Divided by the number of students, the gap shows the per-student amount needed to fund vital programs and staff.
A donation to The Giving Campaign goes directly toward bridging that gap. It funds the teachers, counselors, librarians, and classroom aides who make a lasting difference in our children’s lives every single day. When you give, you’re not just supporting a school—you’re investing in your child’s education and the strength of our community.
