Haddonfield Educational Trust

The Haddonfield Educational Trust, Inc. is a non-profit foundation dedicated to enhancing educational excellence of the Haddonfield Public Schools.

The Trust accomplishes this by supporting educational initiatives through supplemental fundraising. By working with individuals, community groups and corporations, HET ensures that the quality of education your children enjoy meets or exceeds that of the finest private schools in the country, and at a cost that’s a fraction of private school tuition. Our Goals

• Support Haddonfield school distric

t and it's teachers.
• Support teaching excellence and student success.
• Maintain relationships with educational donors.
• Provide support through supplemental fundraising

What We Do

• Raise funds that will benefit Haddonfield Public School students now and into the future.
• Raise funds for educational and creative projects that are supported by the School District, but fall outside the core school budget.
• Serve as a conduit between education-minded donors and the School District.
• Develop partnerships and promote collaboration between the schools and community groups throughout the Haddonfield area.
• We have scholarship opportunities for graduating Haddonfield students. Why is this important? Haddonfield Public Schools (HPS) have always ranked among the top in the state and the nation. In 2009 Philadelphia Magazine Named HMHS the 2nd Best High School in the region. We've achieved this status and our many accomplishments despite an archaic and unfair state funding system that bases HPS's allotment on property values and per capita income. This outdated system provides inadequate funding far below the state average. For the 2010/2011 school year HPS ranked among the lowest in the state for state funding, our remuneration was 0% of our total cost per student. As a result, HPS is the lowest funded school district in Camden County. Without additional funding, HPS will have to make tough decisions that threaten sports, science, music, art programs, class size reduction, health education and technology. HET – Why Support Us? (HET) believes that effective community, corporate and alumni support is needed to provide the best educational opportunities for our children. When you make an investment through HET, you're making a statement. That you won't settle for mediocre education in your community. That your children deserve the best. By working with individuals, community groups and corporations, HET ensures that the quality of education your children enjoy meets or exceeds that of the finest private schools in the country, and at a cost that's a fraction of private school tuition.
