Parents - Together, We Can Get to 100%

HBEF has a long history of Investing in Student Health by funding School Counselors at all 3 schools.

School-based counseling programs provide essential mental health support within the school environment, helping students develop emotional well-being, academic success, and positive personal growth. Through services such as individual and group counseling, crisis intervention, and academic and career guidance, our counselors collaborate with teachers, parents, and administrators to create a safe, supportive school environment where students can thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.

The Need:

During the 2025-2026 school year, funding only provided counseling support for 80% of the week at View and Vista schools, but we want to do better.

HBEF is bridging the gap to ensure counseling support at View and Vista goes from 80% to 100% status.

Our goal is to ensure 3 full-time credentialed counselors are on-site daily at all 3 school sites to serve all 1,450 students for the 26–27 school year.

This spring we have a special request for our community…

Can YOU help us get to 100%?
