Welcome
What if our classrooms were full of inspired teachers sparking creativity, passion, and learning in their students?
The Hastings Public Schools Foundation (HPSF) was founded by our community to provide funds for innovative learning opportunities not available through current public school funding. "What If" grants given to educators by the Foundation invest in our students by allowing their teachers a chance to bring their ideas and dreams into reality.
Starting with the seemingly impossible goal of a one million dollar endowment, countless volunteers and donors worked together to make the HPSF a reality.
The first grants were delivered with trumpets and fanfare to the successful teachers in the fall of 2004.
We continue to stretch our goals of increasing the endowment and collecting additional funds so we can have an even bigger impact on education for generations to come. From planning a Garden Tour to creating a scholarship fund, Foundation supporters continue to help the Foundation grow by implementing their imaginative fundraising and partnership ideas.
Save the Date!

I was fortunate to grow up in a small community that valued education. The school system was abundant with teachers, instructional assistants, secretaries and coaches that valued getting to know every student. It did not take me years of reflection to understand that these adults truly cared about me as an individual. I recognized, at the time, how fortunate I was to be part of such a strong community.
