Hawthorne-Scribner High School

Schoenbrun Challenge Grant

STEM building construction progress as of early February 2025!

We are thrilled to announce that Board member Benjamin Schoenbrun and his wife Inga Schoenbrun have made a matching grant of $500,000 to our new secondary school’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)  Program.  Ben and Inga will match donations to the STEM Program and construction of the science block dollar-for-dollar up to $500,000.  Please explore other ways to donate here.

We are all aware of the importance of STEM education to prepare students for success in the 21st Century working world.  This fact is even more critical in a developing country trying to build a vibrant, sustainable economy.  That is why the new Hawthorne-Scribner High School (HSHS) plans to offer a high quality science program that should be available for use by July 5, 2025.  

Five laboratories for Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Agriculture Science and Information Technology will occupy the first two floors of the science building in the center of the campus.  HSHS will highlight agricultural science and information technology in its academic offerings as a reflection of its location in Uganda’s breadbasket and a recognition that proficiency in information technology is essential to academic and vocational success in all disciplines. 

Construction began on the STEM building in September 2024 and HSHS opened for its first classes on Feb 15, 2025.
