Ensuring every student in Hillsborough receives an outstanding public education that equips them for a fulfilling future

About us

Hillsborough Education Foundation is invested in the success of more than 224,000+ students in Hillsborough County Public Schools by providing educational resources and financial assistance to help give every student, regardless of zip code, background, family structure or economic status, the opportunity to achieve personal success. Our vision is that Hillsborough County Public Schools is one of the best places to learn and teach — where 100% of students graduate with the ability to pursue anything they can dream. The Foundation works in partnership with the community to bring critical resources that are not funded by normal tax revenues to help students succeed in their academic and personal achievements through scholarships, mentoring and dropout prevention programs, free school supplies for low income students, grants to provide more engaging teaching options in the classroom and recognition for education professionals. Everything we do connects kids to greatness through public education for the benefit of our students, our community and the next generation of leaders in Hillsborough County and beyond.

    At Hillsborough Education Foundation, we are committed to supporting our students, teachers, and schools. Recently, the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC)voted to delay the millage referendum to the November 2026 ballot. However, yesterday afternoon, the School Board of Hillsborough County Public Schools, with Superintendent Van Ayres’ recommendation, approved legal action to challenge this delay, seeking an expedited judicial review to ensure that the millage appears on ballots this fall—as originally intended.   Hillsborough Education Foundation stands firmly in support of Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) and applauds Superintendent Van Ayres for his leadership. We believe that the voters have the right to decide this matter themselves, free from interference.   Why is this millage referendum crucial? ✅ It will help ensure that every student arrives at school on time by allowing HCPS to hire enough bus drivers. ✅ It will help provide a dedicated, high-quality teacher in every classroom. ✅ It levels the playing field with neighboring counties that already have a voter-approved millage, like Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, and Hernando.   This referendum is about providing every child in Hillsborough County with the best classroom experience possible. We encourage our community to get informed and understand the positive impact this millage will have. Let's unite to support our students and ensure they receive the education they deserve.   Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eyFq3vmM   #SupportHCPS #MillageMatters #EducationFirst #HillsboroughEducationFoundation
