Tools for Teachers Returns, Aug. 22, 2025

Now in its fifth year, the Tools for Teachers program is helping Harris County independent school district educators start the 2025-2026 school year fully stocked and ready to teach, thanks to a partnership between Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) and the Education Foundation of Harris County (EFHC).

At 7 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 22, Harris County public school teachers can register for a $100 credit from the EFHC to purchase classroom supplies through Challenge Office Products, a local online vendor. The credit will be offered to the first 1,250 eligible registered teachers on a first-come, first-served basis. EFHC dedicated $125,000 to this initiative to mitigate the personal costs teachers incur as they purchase materials to supplement the curriculum.

Eligible registered teachers will receive an email with a coupon code and instructions for buying the supplies online. The credit may not be used for furniture, electronics or clothing. Qualifying applicants can shop from Sept. 8-15, 2025.

Educators must register with a valid email from a Harris County public school district or ISD-authorized charter school. Teachers from private schools or schools outside of Harris County

are not eligible for the credit.

All supplies will be shipped directly to the teacher’s school free of charge. Items shipped to a residential address will be charged a $12 fee. Eligible teachers may register beginning Aug. 22 at www.hcde-texas.org/toolsforteachers.
