The Forest Hills Educational Foundation was chartered in 1983 by parents who wanted to maintain a standard of excellence for students enrolled in Forest Hills Public Schools. These parents were passionate about providing creative and dynamic opportunities for students that were not offered in other districts. They formed the Educational Foundation to facilitate funding for exploration and experimentation in the classroom. In 2011, the Forest Hills Educational Foundation merged with the Forest Hills Fine Arts Center Foundation. The new entity is now the Forest Hills Public Schools Foundation. It is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization registered in the State of Michigan.
