Overview
Mission
The sole purpose of the education foundation is to benefit the Highland Independent School District by providing funds for education programs and activities which are not funded by the normal operating budget. These funds will be used to facilitate student achievement and skill development, to recognize and encourage staff excellence and to expand community involvement in individuals, businesses, and civic organizations.
What it reported doing in 2024
The Hilltop Education Foundation did not have any specific program services in 2024. However, many grants were paid out in 2024 to aid the Highland ISD Staff. There was a Robotics/STEM grant awarded to the science teacher. IPads, covers, and SD cards were awarded to the One Act Play and UIL Teacher. Two elementary teachers were awarded a grant to start an outdoor garden for their science lessons. The foundation was able to enable different teachers at Highland ISD to better their programs and their classrooms.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 84% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
