Our Mission
The mission of the Somerset Hills Education Foundation (SHEF) is to promote and provide educational opportunities through innovative programs and projects for the benefit of the students of the Somerset Hills School District.
Our Vision
SHEF envisions a future where every student is empowered to excel academically, build strong character, and embrace lifelong learning. Through mentorships, apprenticeships, and cross-curricular funding in arts, literacy, STEM, and professional development, SHEF fosters an inclusive and forward-looking educational environment. By addressing current educational challenges and strengthening school-community partnerships, SHEF not only supports students but also enriches the entire Somerset Hills community.


Our History
As an independent, volunteer-run, local nonprofit, SHEF has grown into a vital community-driven organization that collaborates with stakeholders from the Somerset Hills to expand educational opportunities in the district. Over the years, it has played a crucial role in funding initiatives that foster student success and address the evolving challenges in education.
Our Board of Trustees
SHEF is managed by a group of committed trustees, who along with a host of other volunteers, donate their time and expertise to the organization.
