In these times of decreased funding and tightening school budgets, SHEF's goal is to provide teachers with a way to supplement current curriculum with new equipment and materials that would otherwise be beyond the school district's budget. Thanks to the generosity of our district families, teachers, staff, local residents and businesses, SHEF awarded over $562,000 in grants since our inception in 2006. This past school year alone, SHEF awarded $94,000 in grants to teachers and a large technology grant to fund three mobile tablet labs, located at Hilda Walker and Summit Hill Jr. High, a project that will benefit all of the Summit Hill District 161 students.
