What We Do
INVESTMENTS
OUR STORY The Hillsboro ISD Education Foundation was created in 2009 by parents, local businesses and civic and community leaders to support the mission of Hillsboro ISD. The Foundation provides funds for innovative educational projects and activities that are beyond traditional funding and/or for which tax dollars cannot be expended. “The Foundation provides additional tools to help our students prepare themselves for the 21st Century. Through the technology in our room, they collaborate, communicate, and create every day.” - Pamela Hamilton, HISD Teacher
Who We Are
STRUCTURE The Hillsboro ISD Education Foundation is directed by a volunteer board of representatives from the community and businesses served by Hillsboro ISD. The Foundation is a separate legal entity and is governed by state and federal law separate from the school district. Although the Foundation operates independently of Hillsboro ISD, we share the vision of enhancing education and student achievement: “Preparing today’s students for tomorrow’s world.”
