Welcome to the Highland Park High School Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA)

We are ready to meet the challenge of the 2020-2021 school year!

As a parent/guardian of a Highland Park Senior High (HPSH) student or a student of HPSH you are a member of the strong community that supports all students and teachers. Our community will be stronger than ever as we meet the challenges of virtual learning.

Even more than in the past, we will rely on electronic communication, virtual meetings and social media sources to keep connected. Please contact our PTSA using one or more of our communication tools: Join the PTSA email list: http://goo.gl/forms/Z60kDF5vIrHMNxCV2

PTSA VALUES

With students and teachers at the center of everything we do, the Highland Senior High School PTSA* supports excellence, enrichment and well-rounded programming that builds achievement and the community fabric of our school. We support these values in two critical ways:

o Providing resources for students, teachers and classrooms through direct funds that support classroom and program activities and supplies; and,

o Uniting the HPSH Community through support for school-wide, enrichment and interest-based activities, events, and programs.

REASONS TO JOIN THE PTSA

o It’s good for your child. Research shows that children whose parents are involved in their school make better grades and have fewer disciplinary problems.

o Discover resources to help make your child’s high school experience successful.

o You’ll be in “in the know.” Each HPSH PTSA meeting includes an update from the principal, Dr. Tucker and other staff.

o We are flexible. Joining the PTSA doesn’t mean you have to attend every (or any) meetings. Come to meetings and other PTSA events, as your schedule allows. If you sign-up for the PTSA distribution list (HPSHptsa@gmail.com), you will receive meeting minutes and will always know what the PTSA is up to.

o Tap into the HPSH PTSA network. The PTSA is a great way to meet other parents, along with school staff, and teachers.

o It’s a chance to make a difference. By sharing your ideas, concerns, and experiences you can help foster a strong sense of community at HPSH.

o We need you. The PTSA works on behalf of all the students at HPSH. We need your support to do this important work and be successful.
