PSJA Education Foundation

PSJA Education Foundation

The PSJA Education Foundation is dedicated to providing funds for charitable and educational purposes to students and staff of the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District.


The Foundation is organized and operated exclusively for the benefit of the faculty and students in Pharr-San Juan-Alamo ISD. By fostering excellence in education, the end result benefits the entire tri-city community. Although independent of the other, the District and the Foundation share the same belief that a successful education system must involve a team effort that includes the home, school and community. The objective of each entity is to provide students with the tools they need to be lifelong learners and productive citizens.
