What We Do
In Fall of 2021, following the chaos of the COVID crisis and its impact on the school community as well as the students’ educational and social/emotional development, 3 HSES parents got together to re-ignite the PTA of HSES.
These parents organized and recruited a core group of PTA members, created a 501c3, ran regular meetings and events, and developed collaborative relationships with Principal DeFlorio, her administrative team and teaching staff. Each year, we have grown in membership and fundraising. Email us and find out how you can support the school and join the PTA.

We brought bake sales back to HSES—bringing sugary joy to all the students and teachers!
