Quality Education: A Community Commitment

Who We Are

At the heart of a strong community is a strong school system. The HIGHLAND EDUCATION FOUNDATION was formed in 2015 by a group of Highland, Indiana residents who saw a need and an opportunity to foster and facilitate excellence in teaching and to enhance the learning experience of the students.

What We Do

The Highland Education Foundation provides opportunities for donors to give back to their schools by funding teacher and classroom grants for creative and innovative classroom activities, projects and programs beyond what tax dollars can accommodate. These grants encourage, support and recognize creativity, achievement and excellence within the teachers and students. What better investment than helping this Foundation in the never-ending goal of moving education forward!

We were proud to see one of the Highland Middle School grants come to life this week as every 8th grade student stepped onto the campus of Purdue University Northwest. Thanks to the dedication of Mrs. Vis, Mrs. Scheidt, and Mrs. Fagen, all of our 8th graders had the opportunity to tour the campus. Their student guides provided thoughtful and detailed tours, sharing what college life is like and everything the university has to offer. Watching the students explore the campus with excitement and curiosity was incredibly powerful. Experiences like this help students begin to picture their future and expand what they believe is possible.
This is exactly what our grants are meant to do. Create opportunities, inspire dreams, and support meaningful learning in and beyond the classroom. 🍎
