The mission of the Garfield Alumni Foundation is to engage in educational and charitable projects that benefit the students of James A. Garfield High School by utilizing the skills and talents of our alumni.

Our goal is to maintain the educational, athletic, musical and pageantry units of the school by making scholarships available to the students. The foundation makes this possible with the assistance of corporations, local business, and individual contributions.

Another one of our goals is to develop beneficial relationships between the foundation, James A. Garfield High School, alumni, parents and the community.

One of the major projects we participate in each year is raising funds for the scholarship program we sponsor. Each year we award scholarships to deserving Garfield seniors to assist them in their educational goals.

To offer scholarships for deserving graduating seniors, and assist in the sponsorship of vital school and community programs.   To continue a long tradition of engaging in educational and charitable projects that benefit the students, and community of James a Garfield High School, Los Angeles.
