The Hamilton County Schools Foundation just scored the July UNFoundation grant—
and they’re putting it straight into the hands of those who shape our future: teachers.
This fall, the HCS Talent Retention & Culture Initiatives will expand, giving educators more than lesson plans and grading rubrics. We’re talking mentorship, quarterly professional development, and a community that keeps teachers feeling connected, supported, and inspired.
Teacher retention might not sound flashy, but here’s the truth: when educators stay, schools thrive. This program is designed to keep Hamilton County’s best and brightest in the classroom, creating ripple effects that benefit every student.
Think of it as fuel for teacher inspiration—and $3,000 worth of momentum to keep great ideas growing.
At the UNFoundation, we love backing projects that make our community stronger. This one hits the mark: teachers supported, students thriving, and a school culture built to last.
