  • This year, the Intro to Robotics class bas been blessed to receive two grants from HEF for the purchase of a classroom set of VEX Robotics. Because of HEF, all students are now able to work with state of the art equipment on a daily basis. I am very grateful to the community and the HEF for providing the funds to make this possible.

  • It has been so exciting watching the disc golf course come together, and even more rewarding seeing our students and community members out enjoying it. It would not have been possible without the support of HEF sponsoring not only a basket and tee pad, but customized Power H discs for our students to use as well. We are so incredibly lucky to have them as our community partner.

  • “Over the years the Holland Educational Foundation has been a lifeline to students. HEF has provided a field trip to a lighthouse, books that support Black History Month, computer, club opportunities for students, and so much more. I am thankful for HEF’s investment in our future. Thanks to them, our future looks bright.”
