Support the Race for Education
What is the Race for Education?
- An annual jog/walk-a-thon held on October 17, 2025.
- HSA’s major fundraiser for the year; held to support the majority of the annual HSA budget that supports our students and teachers with activities such as: educational assemblies, school trips, educational resources, family events, school equipment & more.
- Our Goal is to raise $26,000 update this year! Let's blow away the goal and send Mr. Smith to the dunk tank!
