Education foundations nationwide were created in the late 1970’s as public school budgets across the country were significantly reduced. To offset the serious financial crisis in our schools, and to bridge the financial gap between what was needed for our students and state and federal funding, the Holdrege Public Schools Foundation was formed in 1988 with a $30,000 grant from the Phelps County Community Foundation for the purpose of establishing an endowment.

The HPS Foundation supports and enhances the educational efforts of HPS students and teachers by providing funding for innovative and challenging programs, learning experiences, and activities.

The HPS Foundation Committee is comprised of school board, staff, and community members. Feel free to contact the Holdrege Public Schools Central Office at (308) 995-8663 if you are interested in serving as a committee member or supporting the HPS Foundation.
