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!
