Mad for Plaid is the HP Education Foundation’s annual campaign, which raises public support for HPISD's critical budget needs. Currently, that critical need is raising the bar for teacher and staff salaries districtwide. We have been honored by this community’s support, which helped us gift $1.8 million to the District during the past school year to help raise the bar for competitive educator pay.

For 2026-2027, we have committed a $1.9 million gift to the District for teacher and staff salary support, our largest Mad for Plaid fundraising goal to date! We cannot meet that commitment without our community's continued investment!​
