Protecting the Nest Since 1993 

Supporting Academics, Athletics, and Clubs at Colfax High School

 Who Are We?

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, public educational foundation that supports students and programs at Colfax High School (CHS).  We raise funds to support and enhance academic and extracurricular programs for CHS, make scholarships and grants to the school and individual departments, teachers, students, and student groups, and conduct outreach and connection with CHS alumni to facilitate resources and opportunities for CHS students.  In addition, CHS Parent Club and Grad Night are subsidiary organizations of The Falcon Foundation.

What Do We Do?

Our annual teacher grant program supports academic, athletic, and club activities at CHS.  Our annual senior scholarship program rewards students who show excellence in academics, community service, and school spirit.  We provide funding for school-wide activities, such as solar glasses, Screenagers, and career fair.  In addition, we work with groups on campus to facilitate money earning activities.
