The Friends of Taos Charter
The Friends of Taos Charter School is the non-profit, parent-driven, volunteer organization that helped to start Taos Charter School. In the mid-1990’s, the original Friends of Taos Charter School organization wrote the charter for our school, negotiated the land donation that our facility currently occupies, designed our buildings, and coordinated the construction of the campus to its current state.
-
In supporting the complete education of the mind, body, and spirit of our students, the mission of the Friends of Taos Charter School is to advocate for the care and protection as well as academic excellence of our students.
To accomplish this, we:a. Raise money to maintain and improve the facilities of Taos Charter School.
b. Assist with financially sustaining the school in the future.
c. Promote community within the parents, student and faculty.
