Why do some kids fail and others succeed? Why don’t all students graduate? Why do some kids leave our schools without the skills necessary to get and keep a good job, while others move directly into the best colleges and into satisfying careers? These questions are being asked in every community across America. In our community, the Hampton Education Foundation is dedicated to helping address these issues and to improving the futures of all our children.
The Hampton Education Foundation has been working to support creativity and innovation throughout the learning process. In 2007 the Foundation began their successful Teacher Grant Programs. These grants are designed to encourage and support teachers who are developing new programs that make learning more effective.
Successfully growing and educating our youth must be a priority shared throughout the community. Parents can’t do it alone. Schools can’t do it alone. There is no silver bullet and no one program that once applied wipes away all challenges. Understanding this, the Foundation encourages you to join our community effort to strengthen every child, one by one.
