What We Do

Enhancing Education

HHEF is dedicated to enriching the educational experience for our students by directing resources toward innovative grants and programs, for every student in the Hatboro-Horsham School District. Here are some examples of the impactful ways HHEF contributes to the success of your students.

  • Each year, the Hatboro-Horsham Educational Foundation awards teacher grants to give all students, grades K-12, access to extraordinary learning opportunities. Many familiar and regarded programs in our District were launched with HHEF grant funds, including LEGO robotics, virtual reality, LINK Crew, Trout in the Classroom, Be a Part of the Conversation, and STEM drones. We are incredibly proud of our grants tradition, which empowers our teachers, engages our students, and ensures a dynamic curriculum.

  • Each year, the HHEF welcomes accomplished authors, scientists, artists, and leaders to present, perform and engage with Hatboro-Horsham students. These experiences, from constructing a mural alongside an accomplished tile artist to hearing the motivational words of a renowned athlete, represent the extraordinary learning opportunities we endeavor to provide. Prior speakers have included M.I.T. professor and robotics pioneer, Woodie Flowers, children’s author David Kirk, basketball star Chris Heron, and the Cavani String Quartet. Whenever possible, our guests stay for an evening presentation for the community.

    In 2025-26, the HHEF will host the following guests:

    • Author-in-Residence Daryl Cobb

    • Harlem Wizards

    • Broadway Masterclass with Brian Dillon

  • In 2016, a Girls’ STEAM initiative was created through collaboration between the Hatboro Horsham School District and the Hatboro Horsham Educational Foundation. The goal of the initiative was to provide innovative opportunities for young women to further their education in the STE(A)M fields. While open to all students, the programs a re designed for female students who need extra encouragement to enroll in higher level STE(A)M classes in high school and college.

    During the 2024-25 school year, students will be invited to attend field trips, community evenings at the FABLAB, lunch and learn guest presenters, a college panel, and mentoring between high school and middle school students.

    All of these opportunities are provided free of charge to attending students.
