COMMITMENT
The Trust has always focused on the most pressing needs of the school system, above and beyond what is already covered in the school budget.
Past projects undertaken by the Trust include efforts to support excellence in teaching, such as underwriting staff travel and housing costs for off-island professional development, the first-ever on-island Woodrow Wilson Math Institute for Teachers, collaboration with the Princeton Alumni Association, a Texas Instruments Teachers’ Institute and a Community Service Learning Institute.
Additionally, the Trust often serves as a pass through for many organizations that are part of the schools, such as the Community Network for Children/Early Childhood Education, Nantucket Youth Hockey Club and for events such as One Book One Island.
