The Humboldt Education Foundation is presenting the Teacher of the Year celebration each Spring to honor the amazing work our teachers do every day. Teachers are nominated by the students, teachers from each school in the HUSD will be recognized and two will be selected as Teachers of the Year (1 for Elementary and 1 for Secondary).

Inspired by board member Carm Staker, the founder of the Hungry Kids Project, we serve the children in the Humboldt Unified School District that have been recommended by school staff as those who may not have access to adequate weekend meals. Students are provided enough food for 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 2 dinners over the weekend.

The annual Back to School Health Fair and Backpack Event is held every July, and provides families with the opportunity to receive a backpack filled with supplies as well as haircuts, vaccinations, and community resources to ensure their children are ready for the school year.

The Humboldt Education Foundation Carm Staker Student Scholarship is awarded each year to an outstanding Bradshaw Mountain High School graduating senior. The scholarship award is open specifically to all graduating Seniors at Bradshaw Mountain High School.

Multiple classroom grants valued at $500 each are being offered to teachers within the Humboldt Unified School District (HUSD) and requires a description of the project needing funding and the number of students that will benefit from it. This opportunity helps HEF provide community support for excellence in education.
