PTA plays an active yet supportive role at HFMS. Our PTA works closely with teachers, students, administrators and the community to positively impact the success of the school. You’ll find that PTA is very different from elementary school. We typically host one event per month to bring everyone together from community events, student events and school events. We support our teachers by providing workroom supplies, host a student nominated Teacher of the Month program, provide grants, monthly Teacher Appreciation events and more! We would love to have you join to become a member! You can join by visiting www.joinpta.org
