Eagles QB Jalen Hurts Donates 600K to Bring Air Conditioning to Part of Northeast High School
The foundation’s first School District of Philadelphia investment aims to speed a comprehensive cooling fix for a school that has faced heat-related disruptions.
- On Tuesday, Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts announced his foundation will donate $600,000 to install an air-conditioning system in the auditorium at Northeast High School.
- Hurts learned three years ago that many district schools lacked cooling, motivating this investment to assist the 52 schools still facing inadequate HVAC systems, down from 118 in 2022.
- The foundation's "largest donation to date" funds a "faster, more comprehensive cooling solution" for the auditorium, which serves as a vital hub for town halls and performances.
- Superintendent Tony Watlington and Mayor Cherelle Parker praised the contribution while noting the district's commitment to equipping all schools with adequate cooling by 2027.
- Aging infrastructure poses a challenge for the remaining 52 schools, as many lack the electrical capacity needed to support modern cooling units costing $1 million to $1.5 million each.
