Chuck Miller Teacher Grants

Because school budgets are often tight, principals and teachers find themselves at times restricted on implementing new ideas and projects. In 1990, Peninsula Education Foundation was able to establish the Chuck Miller Teacher Grant program due to the generosity of Chuck Miller, former Rancho Vista Elementary principal, past president of PEF and local business leader. PEF’s Chuck Miller Teacher Grants are an important resource for teachers that provide unique experiences and learning opportunities for students that are outside of the classroom budget.

Thank you and good luck with your proposal.
