The OCHS Alumni and Friends Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was founded in 2019 to address critical Career Technical Education (CTE) workforce needs at all levels. We provide direct scholarships to Orange County High School (OCHS) graduates pursuing high-demand CTE and technology careers. So far, $745,000 has empowered 172 OCHS graduates to launch rewarding careers in fields such as Aerospace Engineering, Nursing, and Welding.

 

Thanks to our business partners’ support, every dollar donated goes directly to OCHS graduates, maximizing the impact of your generosity. Our four targeted programs include Memorial Scholarships, business and foundation-sponsored awards, class-based CTE scholarships, and direct foundation scholarships, all focused on launching students into technical careers.

​

Your support changes lives. Join us in creating opportunities for tomorrow’s skilled professionals; every contribution makes a difference.
