South Pasadena schools are at the heart of the special community of South Pasadena.
But maintaining their excellence is a constant struggle - did you know that we receive $1,279 less per student than the State average? This is approximately $5,443,424, or 20% of South Pasadena's total school budget!
Because of this shortfall, the South Pasadena Educational Foundation is committed to help bridge the financial gap between what our five schools have, and what they need, in order to provide the quality education that our community expects, and our children deserve.
