Welcome to the High School for Environmental Studies PTA!
The mission of the PTA of the High School for Environmental Studies is to fund the education and enrichment of our students with a focus on environmental consciousness and advocacy, and to support the school's commitment to cultivate stewards of the Earth while fostering greater economic equity and social justice.
Beyond empowering students and families, our goal is to create community partnerships, raising awareness and funds to create volunteer and internship opportunities to prepare our students for sustaining their future and the planet. Our meetings are the third Wednesday of each month during the school year, from 6:30pm-7:30PM.

Help our Seniors cover the cost of graduation!
HSES is a Title One school and the majority of our students come from low income families. Costs to cover graduation, prom, and other celebrations to honor their four years of hard work are prohibitive for many families. The school has a fund to help cover these costs but it's not enough. Please consider donating anything you can to help these students celebrate their accomplishments with their friends and families. DEADLINE APRIL 1, 2026. Questions? Please email amandaf@hsespta.com
