ABOUT

Success and support of all students begin at home. The Hawaiʻi State Parent Teacher Student Association (HSPTSA) is a volunteer advocacy organization that is open to anyone in the community. The organization provides resources outside of the regular educational environment for parents, teachers and students so that your children can excel both in and out of the classroom. Being a part of your child’s educational journey is a great way to volunteer, meet other parents, get connected with what is happening in your school and support the school community.
