Our Mission

Ensuring more teachers, classes and experiences for all Lake Oswego students. With your help we can make a difference. Learn more and get involved.


More Teachers. More Opportunities. Stronger Schools.

What Does Your Support Actually Do?

State funding alone doesn’t cover everything our students need. Your support helps fund additional teachers across all eleven schools—creating smaller class sizes, more individualized attention, and expanded opportunities in reading, music, arts, science, and technology.

  • More small-group instruction

  • More course choices and enrichment

  • More support for every student
