about

Our Mission
It shall be the mission of the Foundation for Haslett Schools to expand and enhance the range of available educational experiences for the people of our district.
The Foundation for Haslett Schools (FHS) generates resources for programs, projects, events, and technology that fall outside the district's regular budget. In short, we “Fund Beyond the Fundamentals.” Since 1989, the FHS has raised more than $500,000 from individuals, families, businesses, and annual fundraising events.
To accomplish our mission, we use those funds to enrich educational opportunities. Accordingly, our goals are established as follows:
-
Provide additional support for educational activities, events, and facilities;
-
Encourage innovative projects and programs;
-
Provide scholarships for graduating senior students.
The Foundation achieves its goals by encouraging links between families, schools, businesses, and the community.
