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.
