FOI President Message
Students - Belonging - Community - Service - Opportunity
FOI President's Message:
Dear Ingraham Ramily,
We believe that a school is a reflection of the choices of its community. It is the crown jewel of the neighborhoods surrounding it. For both students and families, high school represents a relatively brief but profoundly important period in life—one that can change and shape the future.
At Friends of Ingraham:
We Put Students First
We Build Belonging
We Strengthen Community
We Serve Together
We Create Opportunity
We put the needs, growth, success, and well-being of every Ingraham student first. Through FOI’s grants, Bright Futures program, senior events, and volunteer efforts, we work to enrich the student experience.
We build a welcoming, safe, and inclusive “Ramily” where every student and family feels valued and has the opportunity to participate, regardless of circumstances.
We strengthen the shared purpose and commitment among students, families, teachers, staff, administrators, and the broader Ingraham community.
Together, we give our time, talent, and resources to make Ingraham stronger through communication, volunteerism, fundraising, community grants, and recognition.
We work to remove barriers so every student can fully access the academic, extracurricular, social, and experiential opportunities that make for a meaningful high-school experience.
Ingraham High School is great because our community proudly chooses to make it great!
We choose Ingraham First.
Join us. Show up. Sign up. And Go Rams!!
Thank you,
Rob Faw
President
Friends of Ingraham PTO
FOI Community Grants
One way FOI supports Ingraham is through our Community Grants program. Community Grants help to strengthen, expand, and enrich our students’ educational and extracurricular experiences. Our budget for grant requests this school year is $60,000 and funded entirely by donations from our families and community.
For more information on the IHS Community Grant program, visit FOI Community Grants.
Bright Futures is a student support program that works to create opportunities and reduce barriers for Ingraham High School students who are experiencing food and housing insecurity. Our goal is to help all students equitably access their education and inclusively participate in the Ingraham community.
