CH/FMP Foundation
The City Honors/Fosdick-Masten Park Foundation was formed in 1996 by a dedicated group of parents, alumni and educational leaders aiming to help bridge a widening gap between the increasing cost of a high quality learning environment and the uncertain funds available from State and district sources.
Our mission is to enhance the City Honors School experience, which fosters individual growth and empowers every student to achieve their full potential, regardless of need.
The Foundation also serves as a unifying organization for both the CHS and FMP alumni who share a common love for our school and school building.
