Foundation Facts
The Hobart Educational Enrichment Foundation is a non-profit, community-based organization that is dedicated to the enhancement of educational opportunities in the Hobart Public Schools.
The Hobart Educational Enrichment Foundation was established on May 20, 1986. The original impetus for starting the foundation came from a group who believed that the quality of life in a community is directly related to the quality of its educational system.
The Foundation consists of eleven trustees representing a cross section of the community. It is the responsibility of the Trustees to raise funds for the Foundation and administer the funds to benefit the Hobart Public School System.
Income from the donated funds will be utilized to enhance the educational programs for children in Kindergarten through Senior High in the Hobart Public Schools. Funds are allocated through the use of local competitive grants. Some examples of how income may be used include: Adopt- An-Author, Hands-On Geography, Computerized Science, Physics and Chemistry Inquiry Lab Kits, Guest Artists, Art, Drama and Musical Productions, Academic Competition Medals, and many other programs.

The Hobart Public Schools Educator Hall of Fame Program is a new component of HEEF.  Ed Newcomer, a 1957 graduate of Hobart Public Schools, has established a fund through HEEF solely for the purpose of recognizing individuals for significant contributions made to the Hobart Public Schools.  Ben Newcomer owns and operates Ben Newcomer Construction in Norman, Oklahoma.
