Friends of Castle Heights

Who We Are and What We Do

Friends of Castle Heights is the largest, non-profit organization on campus run solely by parents. This group is responsible for the majority of fundraisers which brings in income that in turn gets spent on student services otherwise not covered by LAUSD. Friends of Castle Heights pays for enrichment teachers (science and art), school beautification, the computer lab, gardening, teacher's assistants, the PE program and so much more.

Friends of Castle Heights, amongst other things, oversees money making activities at the school such as: the Family Donation Drive, Fall Festival, Gift Wrap and ArtWare sales, Spring Auction, Jog-a-Thon and the Campus Campout.

Our big auction and fundraiser, the Castle Heights Carnivale, is coming up on March 24th, and is being held at The Mark on Pico. There will be dinner, drinks and the opportunity to bid on amazing trips, services, merchandise and more. All proceeds will benefit the students of Castle Heights! For ticket information, please visit: www.castleheightscarnivale.com.

'Friends' is comprised of two presidents, a treasurer, secretary and ten directors all of whom make up the board of directors. Monthly board meetings, held on the first Monday of the month and are open to the public, evaluate new costs and procedures that contribute to the well being and function of the school.

Board member and officer elections take place in May and each term is for two years. For more information, please contact any of the 2011-2012 board members listed below:
