Lead. Teach. Inspire.

Supporting Extraordinary Learning Experiences to Help Students Succeed.

OUR VISION

The Hammond Education Foundation (HEF) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization established in 1983 to advance educational excellence with the School City of Hammond. Every child in Hammond deserves access to a quality public education. In order to make that vision a reality in the School City of Hammond, a district where the majority of students are enrolled in the free and reduced lunch program, we must recruit, train, and retain the very best educators. We believe that an empowered teaching force is the lever in addressing the very real gaps affecting our school district and community. Our investments reflect that belief.

WHAT WE DO

Our mission of supporting extraordinary learning experiences for K-12 students through educational opportunities not normally funded through school and classroom budgets is paramount to the success of our students as they become productive citizens. Our community and our country benefit from a public school system that has highly trained and motivated educators focused on ensuring our children realize their potential and achieve their goals.

OUR COMMUNITY

HEF has awarded nearly $2 million in scholarships, classroom grants, and district-wide programs.

YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Alumni and current students show their love and appreciation for their teachers from the School City of Hammond district.
