Parents
Home and School Association
For decades, the Home and School Association has provided parents with the opportunity to enrich our students' experience at Tower Hill through a wide variety of volunteer efforts. There is something for everyone! Some of our Home and School committees raise money to fund classroom and campus requests. Other committees provide important services, such as leading school tours, supporting arts programs and providing support for our teachers. There are opportunities to work with students, faculty, other parents or the larger community. Parents may work to build awareness, educate parents, raise money, appreciate faculty and staff, provide tours, plan, organize, cook, bake, decorate, shop or sell.
However parents choose to share their time, it is truly valued by students, faculty, staff and fellow volunteers. What they gain in return is priceless: rewarding relationships with other parents and teachers and a more informed perspective on school life.
