HISD Education Foundation Awards Over $9,000 in Teacher Grants
The HISD Education Foundation continues to make a powerful impact on classrooms across Henrietta ISD. On Friday, September 12th, before the start of the Bearcat football game, the Foundation proudly awarded over $9,000 in teacher grants to educators throughout the district.
These grants will provide teachers with additional resources to bring innovative ideas to life, enhance instruction, and create meaningful opportunities for students. From hands-on classroom projects to technology and enrichment programs, the funds will directly benefit HISD learners in ways that go beyond the traditional classroom budget.
“This is such an exciting moment for our district,” said Kerri Williams. “When we invest in teachers, we are investing in our students’ futures. The Foundation is honored to support the creativity, dedication, and passion of our educators.”
The HISD Education Foundation has a strong tradition the last few years of supporting excellence in education. Through community partnerships, fundraising efforts, and the generosity of donors, the Foundation ensures that HISD teachers and students have access to resources that elevate learning experiences.
Superintendent Jaime Clark remarks highlighted the importance of the Foundation’s work, noting that grants like these help teachers dream big and provide opportunities that inspire students to learn in new and engaging ways.
The Foundation’s commitment reflects a deep belief in the power of education and the incredible potential of HISD students. As the grants are put into action, the community can look forward to seeing the positive outcomes and creative projects that will unfold in classrooms across the district.
The evening was not only about football under the Friday night lights, but also about celebrating the dedication of HISD teachers and the generous support of the Foundation. It was a reminder that when a community comes together to back education, everyone wins.
💛🖤 Congratulations to all of our HISD grant recipients!
