INVESTING IN HIGHLAND’S EDUCATION
Foundation Supported Projects to Help Enrich Highland’s Learning Environment
Distributing resources to Highland Local Schools to enhance, enrich and supplement learning opportunities is at the heart of what The Highland Foundation provides. We underwrite a diverse mix of educational programs and experiences each year and focus on six core areas of need including:
- Literacy
- Fine Arts
- Community Enrichment
- Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM)
- Special Education
- Intercultural Studies
These platforms help our students advance on many levels, both in and out of the classroom. At the same time, these core areas closely align to the interests of our generous donors.
Projects are reviewed and funds are allocated each spring and fall through a grant application process.
To learn more, or if you are interested in joining the Projects committee that is responsible for reviewing and awarding projects, contact Tony Yu at: tony.yu@highlandfoundation.org.

Literacy
Popular reading programs and writing exercises encourage Highland students in many grade levels to grow their literacy skills.
Fine Arts
The Highland Foundation has a long history of providing support for band, choir, orchestra, theater and all forms of the arts.
Community Enrichment
This area of focus provides learning experiences that help students make positive life choices and develop a community of inclusion.
STEM Studies
Our generous donors are helping to develop tomorrow’s science, technology, engineering and mathematics leaders.
Intercultural Studies
We strongly believe in expanding the educational boundaries to include a worldly approach to learning, which coincides with the district’s mission.
Special Education
Inclusive education creates an environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive.
For Our
Students
Each year, The Highland Foundation funds a variety of supplemental learning experiences, scholarships, community outreach programs, classroom-specific tools and equipment. These offerings bring artists and professionals to our schools and community, immerse students in technology and collaborative learning environments and help graduates further their education. Donors like you make opportunities possible.
