Highline Schools Foundation is pleased to announce they awarded over $122,000 in grants to teachers and staff in support of Highline Public Schools.

The foundation’s grant program supports classroom innovation and equity. It provides teachers and staff funds that support student success in Highline Public Schools. Excel Grants provide up to $2,500 for a project that benefits a group, classroom or school. An Impact Grant provides up to $10,000 for a program that impacts a large group of students. This year the review committee funded 92 Excel grants and two Impact grants.

“Being able to provide teachers and staff with grant funding is critical,” said Anne Baunach, Highline Schools Foundation Executive Director. “Grants put resources for student success directly into the hands of teachers and staff, who understand what our students need to be successful!”

Grants were given out via the Foundation’s “Prize Patrol”—surprise visits by Foundation Trustees to staff meetings, classrooms and assemblies during which the grants were awarded to excited and deserving district teachers and staff.
