your impact

Your donations to Hunterdon Preparatory School’s Annual Fund are unrestricted and allow us to fortify and enrich our programming wherever and whenever a need may arise. Because of your support, the HPS film class is creating short films and videos with recently purchased 4k digital video cameras. Our art students benefit from newly purchased classroom furniture from which they create art, and a new potter’s wheel will arrive soon from which our ceramics students will create new ceramic works. This year, our English classes will reinforce their classroom studies and visit New York City to see Othello on Broadway. Through your generosity, the possibilities of how we support our students are endless.

We are excited to announce that a portion of the funds raised through our 2019 Outside the Box Evening of Support Fundraiser allowed us to purchase two new passenger vans for our school. Our curriculum integrates field trips, internships, and community learning opportunities into our student's days. Safe and reliable transportation is crucial and we are very thankful for our donors and sponsor, Flemington Car & Truck County, which made the purchase of the vans possible.

The inspiration for a Hunterdon Prep Community Garden came from the vision of an outdoor garden area where produce could be grown for use at the school and for sharing with surrounding communities. Students, staff, and community volunteers worked together to plan, design, and build the garden space that will add to the balance of the environment and enrich student learning experiences. Students and staff are grateful for the support and generosity of financial donors and community partners that make projects like this possible. 

During our 2019 Outside the Box Evening of Support event we introduced the Hunterdon Prep Giving Tree. One of our requests was for additional Chromebook computers for our students. This technology has a significant  impact on our students' learning experiences because the software we utilize provides immediate feedback and reinforcement which is most helpful to complex learners. The Chromebooks also provide many other features that help students and staff collaborate cohesively with group projects.

Hunterdon Prep art students visit the Philadelphia Magic Gardens created by Isaiah Zagar. We strive to take every opportunity to provide meaningful "outside the classroom" experiences for our students. Donations to Hunterdon Prep allow us to expand our field trip options and also allow us to fund exceptional guest speakers.
