The Hightower Foundation, Inc was started in June 2017 by Chris and Janecia Hightower. HFI was created in direct response to witnessing the financial and foundational struggles of the students attending Jones High School and Florida Agricultural & Mechanical EET program during the Hightower’s attendance at both institutions. HFI will work to assist these individuals along with other students in the community through mentoring, scholarship opportunities and providing exposure for students to otherwise inaccessible horizons.
