Since 1995, the Gresham-Barlow Education Foundation has given $137,174 to Gresham High School. The majority of funds received were for Innovation Grants that directly enhance classroom instruction. The Gophers also received significant funding for literacy support, including the recent creation of a web-enabled eLibrary. In 2018 the GBEF provided funding for an orbital shaker for the IB Biology classes at GHS.  This additional equipment will allow students to complete the rigorous IB Biology requirements.

With these funds, the GBEF paid for literacy enhancements in addition to enriching classrooms with a focus on directly and positively impacting student learning.
