Supporting the Tradition of Excellence

Welcome to the E.C. Glass Foundation website. We’re a young not-for-profit organization, founded in 2003. Our mission is to support academics at E.C. Glass High School, Lynchburg, VA by funding opportunities for the professional development of our teachers to benefit the students.

Please check the “For Alumni” page for reunion updates. --- Class of 1979 and 1989 Reunions October 2009!





The GPA Awards (Glass Pride and Appreciation Awards) were quite a success this year! Thank you to everyone who recognized an educator at E.C. Glass. 50+ educators were recognized raising over $2,000 at end of school and donations continue!

The program will be available year-round for a minimum donation of $10 and a certificate is printed with your name and the educator's name and delivered to them at school typically the following week.

Want to honor a teacher or educator that has impacted your life or that of a child? What better way in these difficult economic times than giving a gift, making a charitable contribution, helping to retain teachers and to build a solid E.C. Glass future – all with one purchase?!

Learn more about honoring educators through the GPA Award program. We can help you let them know you care.
