Who We Are

The Henderson Middle School PTSA (Parent-Teacher-Student Association) supports HMS by serving as a forum where parents, teachers, administrators and students discuss ways to promote quality education, strive to expand the arts and sciences, encourage community involvement and work for a healthy school environment.  The HMS PTSA is a volunteer organization. We hope you will consider getting involved.

Students in middle school are encouraged to become involved with the PTSA to develop leadership skills, learn about the legislative process, increase self-esteem and contribute to the school.

HMS PTSA is looking for parent leaders to fill these PTSA positions for 2024-2025!

Our PTSA board has returning members for the 2024-25 school year, but we still need more parents to step forward and take on the following roles with us! 

Co-President – Closely follows and leads with the 2nd year co-president, attends all meetings and is included in all correspondence between administration and 2nd year co-president. This position learns what the 2nd year co-president does so he/she can lead the board the following year. This role will keep you busy and you will really get to know all the staff and Administration in the school. 

Co VP of Programs: (Need 1 more) Develops and/or continues existing programs for students and parents. We have existing relationships built with current program providers that can continue if desired.

Includes updating the calendar on the website as needed and reviews site for outdated content and updates accordingly. Experience with Membership Toolkit or a similar web-based tool a plus, but we will train you.  Can all be done from home/work.

Graphic Designer: Designs graphics to support PTSA events and fundraisers. Flyers for social media (we use Canva for these), website graphics and sometimes posters. Quick turn times are sometimes needed, just being honest. Spanish is a plus for translating. This can be fun and what you make it! 

Community Engagement Chair: (preferably someone who speaks Spanish) Works to enhance PTSA operations and inclusion of our entire school population. Make sure special needs classes get connected with a team. Meets with Parent Liaison at HMS. Being able to speak Spanish is desired for this position to help translate PTSA communications.

Can recruit volunteers for specific initiatives. Assist with recruitment for future boards and committees to have a board that reflects our student population. 

Buildings and Grounds Coordinator: This coordinator will identify areas that need improvement on HMS school grounds and on the building itself that volunteers could work to improve. They coordinate volunteers to come on scheduled work days, clean up days, etc to beautify our school and its campus. Works directly with presidents and fundraising VP to review projects we fundraise for, and with treasurer to make sure projects are within budget. This person will work with the current B&G folks in order to step into the lead role next year.
