The museum’s partnership with the school system, mentoring of HCPSS students, and African Experience Tour program affirms its goal to enhance students’ awareness of diverse cultures through the exploration of African Art.

The Friends of Education Award was established in 2001 to salute exemplary volunteer contributions of time and talent that directly support academic achievement and safe learning environments for the HCPSS.
