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!

As another school year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to celebrate the students, teachers, staff, and families who make our Highland schools so special every single day.

This year was filled with learning, growth, creativity, achievements, and memories that will last a lifetime and we are so proud to support a community that believes so deeply in education and opportunity for all students.

To our graduates and students moving on to new adventures - congratulations! To our teachers and staff thank you for the heart you pour into our schools each and every day.

Wishing everyone a safe, relaxing, and joy-filled summer!

Thank you for continuing to support the Highland Education Foundation and helping us make a difference in our schools. We can't wait to see what next year brings!+++
