We are excited to announce the 95th Hawai'i State PTSA Convention! Come join us in-person 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 SHOW YOUR VOICE, as we seek ways to achieve 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 has been a transition period for our students, families, educators, and PTA/PTSA leaders, as we move forward in a post COVID world. Now, more than ever, PTAs and PTSAs are needed in our school communities to speak up on behalf of our keiki. This year's Hawai'i State PTSA Convention's workshops and speakers are designed to help you SHOW YOUR VOICE in your efforts to advocate for all children.
