Teaching Tools Resource Center

We know our dedicated teachers will purchase supplies out of their own pockets before letting students go without. We provide teachers free supplies to help students succeed.

Classroom Grants Information & Application

By requesting a grant through our online funding platform, teachers and principals can create innovative learning opportunities for students to help excite young minds beyond what school budgets may allow.

STEAM Lending Library

STEAM materials can be expensive and use valuable storage space. Teachers at Hillsborough County elementary schools can check out Classroom Kits from HEF filled with engaging lessons in STEAM.

Excellence in Education Awards

Teachers and district personnel go above and beyond to make a difference in students’ lives. This annual celebration gives our community the opportunity to honor outstanding staff and show appreciation.
