The Houston HSA in conjunction with Families for Houston is a 501c3 not-for-profit, non-sectarian, non-partisan organization. Our role at the school is clearly defined by the Philadelphia Home and Schools Council (PHSC) and we receive additional instruction from Principal Hall.
Faculty, staff, parents/guardians of children, and community members of the school are all welcome to join the HSA's general membership, although only parents and guardians of children currently enrolled at the school are permitted to vote in elections
There are no annual dues associated with HSA membership, however we do suggest a donation of $15
our Board
The HSA's executive board reviews, advises on, and conducts the business of the HSA and consists entirely of individuals with one or more dependents enrolled at Henry H. Houston Elementary. Each officer serves a term of 1 year (from July 1st-June 30th), but may run for as many terms as they wish. In the spring each year, an open invitation for volunteers wishing to serve on the Executive Board will be sent out school-wide and, if there are enough interested parties, an election will be held. Vacancies on the board are filled by appointment by the Executive Board when they occur between elections or when there are not enough interested parties to warrant an election taking place. Find out more by reading our by-laws.
All members of the board are volunteers and typically have full-time jobs and family obligations in addition to their role on the HSA board. The HSA respectfully ask for your patience and kindness in all your interactions with us, which you can of course expect to be reciprocated.
If you're interested in joining the board at any time, please reach out to houstonhsa@gmail.com.
