Get Involved and Support our School!

At Highland Park Elementary, many of the programs, events, and experiences our students love most are made possible by parent volunteers. Whether you're looking to help at a special event, support a classroom, or share your time and talents throughout the year, your involvement makes a meaningful difference.

We offer opportunities that fit a variety of schedules and interests—from one-time events to ongoing volunteer roles. No matter how much time you have to give, your support helps create an exceptional experience for our students, teachers, and families.

Explore the opportunities below to learn how you can get involved. Together, we help create the memories, experiences, and traditions that make HPE such a special place to learn and grow.

Volunteer Interest Form

Looking for a way to get involved but not sure where to start? We'd love to learn more about you!

Share your interests, availability, and preferred ways to help, and we'll connect you with opportunities that fit your schedule and interests.

This is not a commitment to volunteer. It simply lets us know you'd like to hear about future opportunities, and you can decide if they're the right fit when they arise.
