Mission

The St. Elizabeth Home and School Association (HSA) serves as the communication liaison between home and school life. We promote open communication, goodwill and cooperation among parents, faculty and administration. The HSA manages fundraising efforts and community building events that foster parent engagement and support our school’s vision in creating a community rich in Faith, Tradition, Scholarship, and Service.

HSA Executive Board

The HSA is a parent volunteer organization led by a (6) officer executive board that supports Co-Chairs in managing school activities, events and fundraisers as well as integrating new parents into the St. Elizabeth Community. 

Appointments & Qualifications

The HSA board officers: (2) Co-Presidents, (2) Vice Presidents, (1) Secretary and (1) Treasurer.

Officers are appointed for a two year term; four year maximum. Each officer appointment is approved by the Principal with nominations from outgoing HSA officers and input from school administration. Officers must have previously served as an event Co-Chair in order to be eligible for the board.  Appointments are confirmed in late spring and terms begin the summer of the new school year. The HSA Board meets once a month during the school year.  Meetings are typically held in the Church Commons office beginning in August and ending in June. 

HSA Co-Chairpersons

The HSA oversees approximately 30 school events. Each event is managed typically by two Co-Chairpersons.  Event Co-Chairs will serve a two-year term with the option to continue on annually after fulfilling their initial commitment. The HSA Board will host an orientation meeting for Co-Chairs in September. This meeting is to inform Co-Chairs of their roles and responsibilities as well as explain operating procedures and budget expectations.

Each Co-Chair is responsible for maintaining event documents containing the event history and logistics. Co-Chairs are asked to keep their information current on the HSA Google Drive.

HSA Teams

There are two teams that comprise the HSA: the Blue Team and the White Team.  The teams are determined for ease of event management purposes.  Each team is led by a Co-President and Vice President who support their respective team of Co-Chairs in managing events.  The team Vice Presidents will reach out to event Co-Chairs prior to the start of each event to begin communication and manage logistics. 

Finances & Fundraising

All school events managed by HSA are made possible due to fundraising efforts.  Some popular annual events and ongoing activities include the Back to School Picnic, Teacher Appreciation, Santa’s Workshop, Catholic Schools Week, Family Bingo Night, an annual Father-Daughter Dance and Mother-Son event.  The HSA is also committed to collaboration with faculty, parents, and administration in order to provide additional financial support for a variety of important community needs.  Recent funding has supported classroom & technology enhancements, middle school appreciation, building security cameras, and parent-education series speakers.

We are grateful for our parent community and can not be successful without your support.  Should you have any questions, concerns, creative ideas or general feedback; we encourage you to contact one of the HSA Officers.  We welcome your feedback and value your input.
