A Foundation For​ Students, Faculty & Alumni

See What the Foundation Can Do For You

The Buffalo Foundation is the prime membership organization for Tempe High School. The Foundation was established in 2006 by a small group of Administrators and Faculty for the purpose of bringing together students, parents, faculty, alumni and community to celebrate Tempe High’s 100th Anniversary, and develop a sustainable financial resource which could provide funding and support for Tempe High, its students, staff, and educational programs.

The Buffalo Foundation provides financial assistance to Tempe High students, faculty, and staff, which enables them to participate in special activities when student activity funding is not available and allows them to more fully participate in cultural, performance and educational opportunities throughout the country.

Teaching at Tempe High School has been such a pleasure. The Foundation helps us help students in Academics, Sports, Clubs and Extra Curricular Activities. - Anonymous

Many Thanks to Our Donors

We would like to thank Tempe businessman and philanthropist, Jerry Brock, for his continued support of the students of Tempe High School through his incredibly generous donations to the Tempe High School Buffalo Foundation!

It is because of dedicated volunteers and major contributors like Jerry Brock and Ira Fulton that we can render support to our alma mater.
