The Hyde Park Education Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit group, whose mission is to provide financial resources to individual schools and district-wide programs and activities that encourage and enhance the educational opportunities and well-being of the students of the Hyde Park Central School District. Since its re-establishment in 2017, the HPEF has organized drives to collect donations for the Hygiene Closets at several of the Hyde Park Schools, raised money for Teacher Grants, which awarded over $10,000.00 to teachers for special programs in their classrooms, distributed more than $5000.00 to all the schools for “special projects”, and began an annual Senior Scholarship in 2019.
