Run for Fun. Run for HPE.

Friday, November 20th

Get ready to run, laugh, and get colorful for a cause! Our annual HPE Color Run is one of the most exciting events of the year, bringing students, families, and staff together for an afternoon filled with school spirit, excitement, and plenty of color.

Last year, our incredible HPE community raised more than $46,000 to support campus improvements and student programs. This year, we're ready to make an even bigger impact.

Why We Run

Every colorful step and every dollar raised helps create a better experience for our students. All proceeds from this year’s Color Run will support:

• Shade Structure Project: Arizona sunshine is wonderful, but it can also limit how comfortably students can learn, play, and gather outdoors. Our goal is to help fund additional shade on campus, creating cooler, safer, and more enjoyable outdoor spaces for students throughout the school year.

• Teacher Grants: Our teachers go above and beyond every day. Color Run funds help provide classroom resources, innovative learning opportunities, and special projects that enrich the educational experience for every student.

• The HPE Park Hive: The Park Hive supports programs that encourage kindness, leadership, school pride, and meaningful connections among students, helping make HPE a place where every child feels seen, valued, and supported.

• Future Campus Improvements: As our school grows, so do the opportunities to enhance our campus and student experience. Funds may also support future projects identified by our school community, ensuring we continue investing where it matters most.

Event Details

• Date: Friday, November 20
