About Us

  • ES Student Graduation

    The Cedar Hill ISD Education Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working in partnership with the Cedar Hill ISD and the community in support of CHISD scholars, teachers, and staff.  Since its inception in 2002, CHEF has funded over $944,000 in projects that enhance the learning experience of our scholars and recognize outstanding excellence in teachers and staff.

    Since classes began in August 2022, CHEF has funded over $76,000 in projects (in full and in part) including $43,000 in Grants and $21,000 for a new sound system for the CHHS Red Army Band.  Other Fall term projects included HOOPLA Awards, Christmas Cedar Hill, CHHS Sunshine Committee, and the STEP Teams.

    This is the total amount the foundation has given in grants, scholarships and in support of special initiatives since our founding in 2002.
