Hillsboro Schools Foundation Grants Teacher Wishes
The Hillsboro Schools Foundation (HSF) has stepped up big-time to support students, teachers, and schools and address the unique challenges presented by the pandemic and Comprehensive Distance Learning. 

They came through again at the end of 2020 when they announced a special round of mini-grants for teachers that would fund up to 25 requests of $1,000 or less. Ultimately, the HSF Board voted to allocate up to the full $25,000, and because some of the proposals asked for less than $1,000, they were able to award 31 grants to 17 schools!

We are incredibly grateful for the Hillsboro Schools Foundation’s ongoing commitment to and support of HSD. Many thanks, HSF!
