Other Ways to Help
The Herron Classical Schools Annual Fund directly supports K–12 scholars through arts and cultural experiences, advanced placement test preparation and tutoring, emergency assistance, and more. Consider sponsoring Classical Cocktails, our annual donor stewardship event, or Herron Families and Community Movie Night at Tibbs Drive-In in Indianapolis. Our Fine Arts Department needs musical instruments, art supplies, field trips, and performance transportation. In 2027, the HPA Owl Orchestra is scheduled to perform at Chicago’s Field Museum in April, and our high school orchestra scholars will perform at Kings Island Amusement Park. Donations also support scholar volunteer projects and community outreach. Gifts may be made by check, cash, credit card, employer matching programs, or an annual grant recommendation through your Donor-Advised Fund.
