The Garrett Foundation has announced its 2024 grant recipients.

The Ruston High School programs that will receive the grant awards will be:

  • Tennis $800
  • Young Lives $700
  • Bearcat Nation $500

The Garrett Foundation was established in 1996 with an original gift of $50,000 from an anonymous donor with the interest accrued on the gift used to help Ruston High School clubs and organizations. Every year, a list of proposal’s will be submitted for review to the school, and from there, the Garrett Foundation’s board reviews and makes a decision on the award.

Donors can give to the fund to help the initial capital increase, which will allow for more opportunities for the school and Ruston students each year by making checks to RHS/Garrett Foundation and mailed or given to the administration at Ruston High. Deposits are also accepted at Argent for the Garrett Foundation.
