HEF Rallies the Love of Learning for Hopkins Students

The Hopkins Education Foundation (HEF) partners with the Hopkins Public Schools community to enrich students with new learning experiences and resources. Since 1995, HEF has awarded $3.8 million in funds to support Hopkins Public Schools students, teachers, and staff in their endeavors.
Join us and rally the love for learning!

“Thank you for everything you do to help us do our work even better. I feel like HEF has our backs, and that level of support is simply amazing. ”
— Robert Mullen, Pre-K teacher, Glen Lake Elementary, KIBO Coding Robot Spark Grant
