Hallsville Education Foundation
Hallsville Education Foundation
The Hallsville Education Foundation was created in 2001 to discover resources to fund educational projects that otherwise would not be funded through HISD's regular budget. Throughout it's life, the Foundation has channeled thousands of local dollars back into the HISD schools, all for the benefit of students. Without the Foundation, many critical experiences would not be available to the children of Hallsville.
Our Purpose
The Hallsville Education Foundation shares a vision of enhancing education in Hallsville ISD, works to increase private support for education activities, fosters creative approaches to education, and awards funds through a volunteer Board of Directors made up of business, community, and educational leaders.
Our Mission
The Hallsville Education Foundation will generate and distribute resources that enhance the quality of education, one student at a time.
Our Goals
The Hallsville Education Foundation will achieve its mission by directing resources toward the following goals:
- Building community awareness
- Inspiring parents and the community to create partnerships with HISD to enrich education
- Motivating students to continually exceed expectations
- Supporting staff for innovative efforts
- Recognizing exemplary efforts

Since 2002, the Hallsville Education Foundation has awarded 324 grants totaling over $925,000. Recently, the Foundation's Purple Pride Patrol surprised teachers across the district by distributing $58,585.62 in grants for innovative teaching. Armed with balloons, noisemakers, party hats, cupcakes, and oversized checks, members of the Foundation, accompanied by Hallsville High School cheerleaders and the Junior High band drumline, traveled from campus to campus to present 32 grants to 66 teachers and awarded $2,650 in surprise mini-grants to 22 additional teachers. The HISD Special Education Department partnered with the Foundation to fund $2,465.07.
Get Rowdy, Get Loud
The Hallsville Education Foundation’s annual Get Rowdy, Get Loud fundraiser, presented by Patterson Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Marshall and Richard & Amy Traweek, generated funding for innovative and creative grants for classrooms that were not covered by the regular operating budget, as well as dual credit course scholarships. Past grant winners were highlighted at the event with banners displayed throughout the venue, which were later distributed to the campuses to raise more community awareness about the Foundation and the creative ideas and projects it had funded for campus teachers during the annual "Pride Patrol."
Major sponsors of the fundraiser included presenting sponsor Patterson Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Marshall and Richard & Amy Traweek; Platinum sponsor: Ally; Gold sponsors: Sherwood Financial, Fidelity Communications, and Thomas Oilfield Services; Silver sponsors: JCT Auto, Longview Bridge & Road, VeraBank, Whataburger, and DKT Investments, Inc.; Bronze sponsors: VanDusen Timber, Carmela Davis-CPA, Longview Livestock, The Cammack Family-Welch Funeral Home, Tucker & Associates, Cox Builders, Texas Farm Bureau Insurance, Eastman Credit Union, Tomberlain Insurance, Eastman Chemical, Diagnostic Clinic of Longview, East Texas Professional Credit Union, Guaranty Bank, and Brookshire’s; Community sponsors: Texas Bank & Trust, Lone Star Truck Group, and Chick-fil-A; and Underwriters: David & Cindy Whiteside, Jack Lenhart-Coldwell Banker Lenhart Properties, Colby Dickson-Northwestern Mutual, The Crosby Group-Joel & Nichole Holk, and Rollo Insurance, among the many generous donors of silent and live auction items. Event organizers also acknowledged the ongoing contributions of the Education Foundation’s GRGL planning committee, recognizing their continued dedication to the cause.
