About The Foundation
The Tekamah-Herman Public Schools Foundation now houses the funds that support over 100 scholarships per year. These scholarships now provide more than $150,000 in aid each year to graduates from the Tekamah-Herman Community Schools. Current graduates as well as past graduates are invited to apply.
Classroom Grants
Teachers may apply for many forms of grants through the Foundation. The grants come in many types, sizes, and formats. They are all intended to fund innovative projects that traditional school funding cannot support. We hope they encourage teachers to think in cutting edge ways and bring new vision to the classroom. It is a true privilege of the Tekamah-Herman Schools Foundation to fulfill grant requests.
