Support RCHS

Your Contributions Secure the Quality of Education at RCHS

Since our founding, Raleigh Charter High School has received strong financial and volunteer support from its families. The generosity of parents, alumni, alumni parents, and grandparents has enabled our school to offer a vibrant educational community focused on citizenship. Our school offers a challenging curriculum, small classes, and active learning and our teachers are caring, innovative, and passionate about their work. As a public charter school, we face unique financial challenges. Contributions play a critical role in our ability to maintain this high-quality learning environment and we are fortunate to have a long history of strong support from our families. We encourage Raleigh Charter families to be part of this tradition of giving by donating today.

Annual Support

The Phoenix Fund: Every Family, Every Year

This year, we have set a goal of raising $400,000 for the Phoenix Fund, which supports the day-to-day operations of our school. Achieving our Phoenix Fund goal allows us to meet critical expenses in the current year and confidently plan for the coming year. The Phoenix Fund is critical to our annual budget and we greatly appreciate the support that our families continue to show to this effort. Phoenix Fund dollars keep classes small and well supplied.

Your generous contributions are used to supplement low per-pupil funding and make our day-to-day operations possible. The Phoenix Fund is critical because the quality of education we offer costs more than state and local funding provides. Money raised through the Phoenix Fund does not pay for extras; it pays for essentials.

Support of the Phoenix Fund gives us the ability to:

Keep class sizes small
Provide classroom resources and supplies
Maintain teacher and staff salaries at the highest level of the local pay scale
Support innovative programs like Flex and Community Work Days
Fund our Student Assistance Program which provides resources (meals, supplies, technology, testing fees, etc.) to our students experiencing financial hardship
Provide professional development training and experiences for our faculty
Pay for the utilities and maintenance of our building

At RCHS, we have always relied on caring and steadfast support from our community. Please join in this tradition of giving by donating today. Every gift of every size helps us reach our goal.
