We are excited to announce the 94th Hawai'i State PTSA Convention! Come join us (virtually) as we gather together to meet and network with other PTA/PTSA leaders from across the state, gain knowledge to be used to make your local unit more successful, celebrate achievements, and receive a boost of motivation to carry us into the upcoming school year.
This year’s convention theme is Building for the Future, as we seek ways to build stronger, healthier school communities, strengthen parent involvement in the school system, and equip parents and their children with the tools to be successful in the classroom, on college campuses, in technical trades, and as global citizens.
We know this year has been tough for our students, families, educators, and PTA/PTSA leaders. Now, more than ever, PTAs and PTSAs are needed in our school communities to speak up on behalf of our keiki. The Hawai'i State PTSA Convention's workshops and speakers are designed to help you navigate from your current position to building a successful team.
