Welcome

Thank you to everyone who made the 1st Annual EC Glass Garden Party a huge success! From all reports a great time was had by the guests and we're already looking forward to planning next year's event! Over $10,000 was cleared and will be put to good use in support of the educators at E.C. Glass High School.

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.

Giving a GPA (Glass Pride and Appreciation Award) is a great way to say "Thank You" to anyone associated with E.C. Glass High School as another school year comes to a close. Order online for a minimum $10 donation and certificates will be delivered before the end of the school year.

A certificate with the honoree(s) name is given to them showing you care (The amount of the donation is not shown). Proceeds go toward grants, training and funds for innovative and creative projects to advance the quality of education, retention and overall academic experience for our students.

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.
