Innovative Education Grants: Putting Your Best Idea Forward

The Innovative Education Grant Program supports innovative and creative educational projects that increase student achievement. All Humble ISD employees are encouraged to submit their idea for a project that strongly impacts student learning. A committee of community members in a blind (no educator or school names are revealed) evaluation process selects those projects worthy to be funded and grants are awarded in May. Since 2000, over $3.4 million dollars in grants have been awarded to schools across the Humble school district through this grant program.

In May 2010, the Humble ISD Education Foundation made dreams come true again for Humble ISD employees. In the 2009-2010 school year, the Foundation awarded a total of $514,642 in grants; $229,581 of which were awarded on our traditional Prize Posse day. The remaining $285,061 were awarded in designated grants throughout the school year.

On Prize Posse day, we decorate school buses, loaded them up with our "Friends of the Foundation" and surprise teachers with the good news that they won a grant. The day is filled with shouts of joy, tears of happiness and even a few somersaults!
