About

Support Overbrook’s 21st Century Initiative!

We have launched a student-designed T-shirt fundraiser to support this campaign! Our students created these designs themselves, and all proceeds will go directly back into the DASH program. If you would like to show your support and represent Overbrook, you can purchase a shirt for yourself or your family here!

Overbrook High School, a cornerstone of West Philadelphia with a vibrant community of over 400 students, stands at the forefront of innovative public education. This year, Overbrook is proud to launch its 21st Century School Model—a transformative approach that immerses students in career-focused learning and connects them directly to high-demand industries.

Thanks to an initial major investment from the School District of Philadelphia, this model lays a strong foundation for cutting-edge programming, modernized spaces, and meaningful partnerships that prepare students for the future. Building upon this investment, The Fund and community partners are working to expand the program’s impact through philanthropic support that brings these opportunities to life.

The foundation of Overbrook’s new model is the DASH (Destined to Achieve Successful Heights) Program. DASH introduces students to the world of entertainment—across the business of music, sports, and mass media—through a unique blend of academic learning and hands-on, real-world projects. Students explore behind-the-scenes roles in music production, entertainment management, mass media creation, and sports business leadership. With a strong focus on entrepreneurship and technology, DASH helps cultivate innovative thinkers, confident creators, and tomorrow’s leaders in the entertainment industry!

Overbrook’s goal is ambitious: to raise $110,000 by the end of this school year to provide life-changing opportunities for approximately 400 students annually!

Together, we can help Overbrook High School—and the Philadelphia communities it serves—chart a bold new future for public education!

*If we do not meet our fundraising goal, we will use these funds to support this or another vital need at our school!
