Where every curtain call has a community.

The AHS Arts Foundation supports the performing arts students, productions, and programs at Alhambra High School in Martinez, California.

Support beyond the stage

The Alhambra High School Arts Foundation awards two types of scholarships annually to students who have participated in drama or stagecraft as extracurricular or through class enrollment.

Awardees are selected from a pool of applicants via a committee process which evaluates their applications alongside feedback from teachers and other visible accomplishments.

Students apply via the local scholarship process administered by Alhambra High School. Please contact Laura Patrick at Alhambra High School with questions about the application process.

The Drama Boosters Scholarship is awarded to graduates who have been notable contributors to the Alhambra High School performing arts program on stage or behind the scenes. Awardees are selected by our committee to recognize drama students who have demonstrated leadership, excellence in theatrical performance and/or technical stagecraft, and an enduring commitment to the arts throughout their high school careers. Preference is given to students studying theater or another career in the arts.

In 2024, we established the Carrie Wilson Memorial Performing Arts Scholarship which is awarded to a singular graduate who has been an especially notable contributor to the Alhambra High School performing arts program.

A community volunteer, passionate educator of young children, and steadfast patron of the theater, Carrie Wilson served for more than a decade as the president of the AHS Arts Foundation and ensured consistent support for the performing arts at Alhambra where her own beloved children, Ryan and Amanda, once participated and thrived. Carrie remained active with the AHSAF board and volunteer efforts until her passing in 2024.

An awardee is selected by the Foundation to recognize an especially dedicated drama student who has demonstrated leadership and made positive efforts to improve the drama program as well as contributed to the school and local community beyond theater.
