About Us – HistoryThe Hoover City Schools Foundation was formed over two decades ago to provide individuals and businesses the opportunity to support Hoover City Schools. Your support of the Hoover City Schools Foundation gives you the opportunity to reach more than 13,000 students, their families, teachers and administrators – and to make a real difference in the future of our community.The Foundation, since 1992, has been actively supporting educational excellence within the Hoover City School System. One major component of the support we provide reaches directly into the classrooms – in the form of our school and classroom grant program. By funding innovative classroom teaching initiatives we are supporting the growth of new ideas, vision and experimentation in the classroom – to better educate and motivate the next generation of our community, business, and world leaders. Each year, grant awards of $25-40,000 are distributed to teacher recipients, and those funds are put to work in the classrooms. These grants support educational enrichment opportunities that would otherwise not be affordable or available to our students.We recognize that in our children lies our future. And therefore our mission is to help support them, and the schools readying them to carry us into the future, by helping provide the best teaching tools, ideas and resources possible.Our Children. Our Future. Our Mission.
