Adopt-a-School Program
The HPO is proud of our history working with local schools through our Adopt-A-School program.
High-priority schools are a focus for the HPO and applications from these schools are weighted more heavily in the application evaluation process and are strongly encouraged to submit an application.
Although our previous schools have all been HWDSB schools, any school from any board in the GHA can apply to be our Adopt-A-School.
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN
Please apply by September 26, 2025 for consideration.
