What is the MTSD HSA/PTO?
The Mendham Township HSA (Home & School Association for the Mendham Township School District) is the school district’s main fundraising organization. It is comparable to PTO/PTAs in other districts which includes parents, teachers and the community.
 
Funds raised in the past by the HSA have gone towards:

  • Middle school locker room upgrades
  • Security system upgrades
  • Technology upgrades
  • SMART boards
  • Sound systems
  • Merit awards
  • Cultural arts programs
  • Teacher and staff appreciation
  • Graduation class gift 
  • Teacher grants

  • Indoor and outdoor recess equipment and much more

Membership in the HSA/PTO is free, as all families of MTSD are welcome. If you would like to opt-in and receive our newsletter, please fill out our Newsletter Sign Up Form:
