Pictures of Jalen Hurts at Northeast High
Eagles MVP quarterback Jalen Hurts visited Northeast High School's packed - and sweltering - auditorium on Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2026 to donate $600,000 for air conditioning.

Jalen Hurts wants to help Philadelphia's largest high school keep its cool, saying he was influenced by his educator parents and the people who made a way for him. He previously gave $200K for more than 300 window units at 10 other schools. While Northeast is getting an upgrade, fifty-two Philadelphia schools lack air conditioning.
