O’Reilly School Foundation
Building a Stronger Future Through Education
Founded by old students who remain deeply connected to their school, the Foundation turns shared experience into practical support for learning, wellbeing, and a better campus.
Our Story
About the Foundation
The O'Reilly Senior High School's Foundation is the brainchild of a group of old students who shared five formative years of secondary education within these walls, decades ago, and a lasting sense of what the school gave them.
That group watched with concern as O'Reilly SHS, now approaching a century old, continued to be under-resourced. Many founders and trustees now live and work in the diaspora, primarily in the UK and USA, but their connection to the school never faded.
Our ApproachOur trustees and volunteers stay close to every project from planning through completion, reviewing contractor bids, tracking budgets, and visiting the campus.
Why We Exist
