🎉New Scholarship Alert🎉

The Kenneth Amo Memorial Trades Scholarship was established to assist a graduating GFH student who wants to pursue a career in the technical/vocational field (i.e. electrical, automotive, HVAC). Kenneth knew the importance of trades early on and confidently pursued a career in the trades since he was a junior in high school. This helped define his trajectory during his service in the military, changing his life and confirming his passion.

🍎We are consistently grateful for the support that so many give in our community! Thank you, Amo family, for your generous support of students at Great Falls High School.🍎

If you are interested in discussing establishing your own scholarship with the GFPS Foundation, please reach out to Joan Dailey at 406-268-7849 or [email protected].

Valerie Dobbs, long time supporter of Great Falls Public Schools and past District employee passed away May 4, 2025. Before passing, however, she chose the Foundation as one of her beneficiaries.

Her daughters said, "We miss her greatly every day. As her daughters, we find it very fitting that she chose to have part of her estate be donated to the Great Falls Public Schools Foundation, a cause that she found near and dear to her heart.

Val’s legacy lives on through the countless students she believed in over the years as an educator. She worked for the Great Falls Public Schools District for many years, primarily as a tutor and advocate for Native American students in middle and high school, and in later years, at local colleges. She was great about keeping in touch with her former students and checking in with them to make sure they were working towards achieving their goals.

Besides her work as a tutor, our mom was also known throughout the community for her passion for education, arts, and culture. During our school years, our mom played an active role with the PTA and Bison Boosters. You may remember “Mama Dobbster” as the 50/50 gal, sporting her bison hat as she walked up and down the bleachers selling tickets at GFH Bison games! She continued to be a loyal supporter of Bison athletics long after we graduated.

We are honored to pass this gift on to your foundation on behalf of our mother, and look forward to the impact it will make on Great Falls Public Schools students."

Sincerely,
Katie (Dobbs) Alleven and Andrea (Dobbs) Hammo
GFH Class of 2009 and 2007

Katie and Andrea, your mom sounded like a wonderful woman and made a difference in many students' lives. We are pleased to continue her legacy through her generous gift. Thank you both - many hugs!

🎉NEW SCHOLARSHIP ALERT🎉

The PGEC Phoenix Fund was created by the teachers at Paris Gibson Education Center to provide financial support for students who need help meeting their basic physical or emotional needs or pursuing opportunities that prepare them for life beyond high school. They recognize that success doesn't look the same for everyone and that there are many pathways to a meaningful future.

Through the Phoenix Fund, these donors hope to remove financial barriers so students can pursue their goals and build the future they deserve.

🍎We are consistently grateful for the support that so many give in our community! Thank you, PGEC staff and teachers, for your generous support of students at Paris Gibson Education Center.🍎
