HBEF Contributes $1,265,000 to HBCSD
for the 2024-25 School Year
Thanks to the support of our generous Hermosa families and local businesses, we reached our 2023-24 fundraising goal! With those donations, we were able to fund over 5% of this year’s HBCSD budget.

HBEF’s contribution was able to fund the following programs for the current school year (2024-25):
- STEM, Music, Physical Education, & Foreign Language education for elementary
- STEM, Band, Art, Drama, & Foreign Language electives for middle school
- Full-time librarians & counselors for all three campuses
Without this funding, these programs would not have been possible. We are so grateful to our Hermosa community for their generous support!
