Hightower Trail Middle School's Parent-Teacher-Student Association (PTSA) is a nonprofit organization run by volunteers to provide valuable support, services, and programs to the HTMS community. The PTSA has worked to promote the welfare of our students in our homes, school, and community.
Research shows that parents need to be partners in their children's education, from pre-school right up through the high school years. At Hightower Trail Middle School, the PTSA is working to serve as that essential link to keep you in touch and informed about our school.
HTMS's PTSA is a local unit of the National PTA, Georgia PTA, 9th District PTA and a member of the Eastern Cobb County Council PTAs.
Your membership dues & donations are the primary source of funding for PTSA programs and projects, such as the PTSA website, newsletters, special student programs, teacher grants, teacher appreciation events, and more. We can't do it without you!
