Parent Teacher Association

The Parent Teacher Association of Humanities Preparatory Academy is a volunteer organization consisting of parents, guardians, teachers and administrators within our school. Everyone is welcome to join and there are no rules nor papers to fill out in order to participate. 

 

Our mission is to offer opportunities to lend talents, time, and support to the ongoing education and emotional/social well-being of the entire school community.  We strive to cultivate community participation, programs, and funding needed to sustain a rich learning environment for our children.

 

We understand that different families can contribute in different ways and we offer a variety of opportunities to contribute.  We strive to have 100% participation from our school families and have a range of opportunities, from giving a monthly financial pledge to helping organize and/or volunteer at events, from getting donations for raffles to contributing your personal expertise.  There is something for everyone. 

 

Together, we work to encourage collaboration in our children’s education; to organize and raise funds for activities, enrichment programs and capital improvements; and to facilitate communication and a cooperative working relationship between the families and the staff of our school.

Co-Presidents – Joanne Thigpen, Nathan Larsen
