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're here. The HHPA is dedicated to supporting our students, faculty, and staff and to building a strong sense of connection among families.
Throughout the year, you'll find meaningful opportunities to get involved, from volunteering at events to participating in grade-level activities. Your participation in our parent community ensures that all events are vibrant, welcoming, and successful. Our largest community builder and fundraiser is The Main Event, which raises funds to support the HHPA operating budget, enabling events like back-to-school parties, parent socials, dances, and more, alongside supporting the school’s capital projects and financial aid efforts.
I encourage you to explore the HHPA Hub on the current families portal for detailed information about getting involved. The HHPA Hub is the place to learn about student and parent events, volunteer opportunities, event planning guidelines, and frequently used forms. And make sure you follow @hh_parents on Instagram!
Thank you for your support of the HHPA and Harpeth Hall. I look forward to meeting you!
Warmly,
Susan Burks
HHPA Executive Board 2025-2026
