Cherryville High School Education Foundation
Prompted by cutbacks in funding from the state and county resources, in November 2010, a small group of CHS alumni and friends of the school established a non-profit organization to support academic excellence at CHS: Cherryville High School Education Foundation
It's mission: "The CHSEF seeks inspiration from the CHS spirit (Ironman Pride) to provide innovating and enriching financial support for both students and teachers, affording an excellent educational experience that will serve all well, throughout life."
The CHSEF is independent of CHS and Gaston County and state education bodies. Fifteen board members, predominately CHS alumni with a broad range of experience, professionally manage the Foundation. Grants are awarded exclusively to Cherryville High each year based on specific criteria, aligning with the Foundation's mission and objectives.
CHSEF has been granted tax-exempt status as a 501 (c) (3) corporation. All contributions are tax-deductible. As of spring 2012, the Foundation has surpassed an initial fundraising goal of $50,000. The Foundation produced the first in a series of videos celebrating 100 years of Cherryville High School: Cherryville High School: the First 100 Years

“The Cairo conference ... is about a complicated web of education and employment, consumption and poverty, development and health care. It is also about whether governments will follow where women have so clearly led them, toward safe, simple and reliable choices in family planning. While Cairo crackles with conflict, in the homes of the world the orthodoxies have been duly heard, and roundly ignored.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“I have witnessed the tremendous energy of the masses. On this foundation it is possible to accomplish any task whatsoever.”
