Furthering education

Education is a fundamental building block for society, and improving the quality of and access to educational resources is a priority for Mobil Oil Guam Inc.

Since 2009, Mobil Oil Guam Inc. has donated funds to Notre Dame High School’s Math and Science program. In December 2014 a donation of $2,000 was made to assist in funding science and math materials and learning resources that aligns the school’s curriculum with 21st Century learning and technology. Mobil’s continued funding to Notre Dame supports the school’s mission to “prepare students for college and lifelong learning that encourages collaboration, instills leadership, promotes dedication to service, and inspires passion for justice and peace.
