Join the PTA today and help us achieve our mission to promote partnerships between home, school and community; engaging with every family so that every NHE student will learn and thrive.
Together, we can achieve our 2021-2022 membership goal that:
“Every NHE student is represented in PTA by at least
one important adult in their lives.”
There is NO obligation or expectation to volunteer or attend meetings. (But we do LOVE to meet members and find fun opportunities for those that want to help!)
