HHPA President's Welcome
On behalf of the Harpeth Hall Parents Association, welcome! Whether you are new to the school or a longtime member of our community, we are so glad you are here. The HHPA exists to support our students, faculty, and staff while fostering meaningful connections among families.
Throughout the year, there are many ways to get involved, from volunteering at events to participating in grade-level activities and parent gatherings. Every contribution, large or small, helps strengthen our community and creates memorable experiences for our girls and their families.
Our main fundraiser and community-building event, The Main Event, plays a vital role in supporting the HHPA’s mission. Proceeds help fund our annual programming, including back-to-school parties, parent socials, faculty and staff appreciation initiatives, and other community events. In addition, HHPA contributions support important school priorities, including capital projects and financial aid.
I encourage you to explore the HHPA Hub on the current families portal to learn more about volunteer opportunities, upcoming events, event planning guidelines and helpful resources. Be sure to follow @hh_parents on Instagram for updates and highlights throughout the year!
Thank you for your support of the HHPA and Harpeth Hall. I look forward to meeting you and working together to make this a wonderful year for our community!
Warmly,
Mary Katherine Simmons
HHPA Executive Board 2026-2027
