Home and School Association — the School Without Walls

Home and School Association (HSA)

We can tell you about the activities the HSA funds, but we think our students say it better!

The HSA is in place to support and advances the educational mission of SWWHS by meeting student enrichment and educator needs. We aim to help families know what is going on and stay connected; fundraise and fund opportunities equitably, and practice transparency in budgeting and decision-making. Read a little bit more about our work here.

All of this is only possible with your support. We look for your involvement financially and personally.
