The School for Strings is a 501 3C non profit corporation, operating in Port Huron, Michigan.  It is governed by a Board of Directors who are elected by its membership during their Annual Meeting in December each year.  All families are invited to become members of the corporation. Membership with voting rights costs $5 per year per family. Annual Meetings are normally held just before an all-school Ensembles Concert. During this time all students are in rehearsal for the program.  ​

Your Fund Raising Activities

As families and members of the School for Strings, you accept the responsibility for the financing of the School.  This includes paying tuition and fees on time plus active participation in the School's funding raising activities. According to our charter from Michigan, the School must derive at least 10% of its annual budget through fund raising and donations.

The Board of Directors, acting on behalf of the all families and students of the School for Strings, organizes fund raising projects.  These and all financial matters of the School are presented during Meetings of the Corporation. The School needs each and every family to participate in these activities in order to meet our financial and legal obligations.
