How it started
A small group of alumni, staff and friends of Mark Morris met in 2008 to form the Mark Morris High School Foundation. The purpose of the foundation is to provide support to Mark Morris High School and provide for scholarships for Mark Morris students and graduates.
Although the expressed purpose of the foundation is supporting Mark Morris, we will also be a conduit to help serve alumni with information. Classes are invited to submit information regarding their class reunions and links to their websites.
The foundation became official on June 11, 2008 when it was incorporated as in the State of Washington as a nonprofit charitable organization
Purpose
