There's a place for you in the HARES PTA!
At Herbert Akins Road Elementary, our PTA is made up of parents, caregivers, teachers, and community members who care about making our school the best it can be. Whether you have hours to volunteer each month or just a few minutes here and there, your support makes a difference.
We would always love to have more people in our community! Every new member brings fresh ideas, new energy, and another voice helping our students thrive.
Short on time? No problem! There are many ways to support the PTA, and every level of involvement matters.
