The West Orange Education Foundation was formed in 1996 by a
group of West Orange citizens that were led by
the legendary Hazel Elementary School Principal Fred Eckhardt. The initial mission of improving computer
technology in the West Orange elementary
schools was a tremendous success.
Since
that time, led by Rob Parisi, the Foundation established the West
Orange and Mountain High School Alumni Fund. The Alumni Fund raised over $100,000 to help
fund the Joe Suriano Track and Field Complex at West Orange High School as well
as additional other capital improvements throughout the district.
The Foundation is a qualified 501(c)(3)
organization (tax ID #22-3447031.)
