Honorary Service Awards

What are the Honorary Service Awards (HSA)?

Each year our PTAs select individuals and organizations from our school and community to receive the Honorary Service Award (HSA). The HSA recognizes an individual or group that has demonstrated outstanding service to children or youth in our community. Nominees can be from anywhere in our community. They do not have to be PTA members nor does they need to have children enrolled in our school. The nominee should be someone that is an advocate for all children.

The Honorary Service Award is presented at Family Fun Night in the spring each year.
