The TJHSST Partnership Fund
Supporting TJ's Educational Mission since 1999



What We Do

The Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology Partnership Fund, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation that works together with the TJHSST administration to support the educational programs of America’s premier secondary STEM school. TJ was recently named the top high school in America of at least 800 students by US News and World Report and is consistently ranked among America's strongest public schools.

We seek to maintain and enhance “the magic of TJ” and secure its continued status as a leader in secondary STEM education by raising funds and donating them directly to the school through grant requests and other initiatives. We also support TJ students following their graduation through America's most powerful high school alumni network, as well as support for reunion activities and other alumni connection opportunities.
