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.
