About the Gala
Each year the Fulton Public Schools Foundation hosts a gala dinner to recognize Foundation leaders, supporters and alumni. Begun in 2015, the event has become a time for the community to gather and see the work of the Foundation. Teachers who have received classroom grants are on hand with displays of their projects, key leaders and donors are recognized, and reunion classes are honored for their generosity. Since 2018 the Gala has also been the night we induct new members into the Foundation's Hall of Fame.
It is an evening of awards and celebration to recognize those who help support the Foundation and its funding efforts for the Fulton Public Schools, as we all work to prepare today's students for an ever-changing world.
