PTA Council chose HCT president Stephanie Sullo as its District Honored Guest at Founders Day. Sullo has worked tirelessly to support PTA efforts, including implementing a pilot program to fully fund memberships across the district. She has forged positive working relationships with administrators, parents and teachers throughout her presidency. During the pandemic, Sullo communicated teacher and students interests at countless meetings about safety, instruction methods and a reopening plan. Congratulations to Stephanie on this well-deserved honor! Make plans to celebrate with her at Founders Day on March 3rd, 2023.

The HCT is updating its tutor referral database. When a request for a tutor is received, we will contact members on the list who meet the criteria. It is up to the individual teacher to make arrangements as to times, fees and location. We cycle through the lists to ensure that everyone will have an opportunity to tutor. Replies must be made within 48 hours so that we can respond to requests in a timely manner. Once we hear back from you, we will forward the parent's phone number and student information.

If you are interested in participating in our tutor referral program or would like to continue tutoring, please complete this short form.

School-related COVID questions should be directed to Gail Hunker.
