Ice Skating was a success! Thank you for your support.

High Tech Middle depends on your donations to keep our school programs running. Project Give keeps our teachers' classrooms supplied, provide access to the latest software for our students, and helps fund field trips and other community event.





Teacher Wish Lists   

It's awesome watching these wishlists get filled. But plenty of items are still needed. You can access updated teacher wishlists here. And thank you! 

Project Give

Project Give is HTM's Parent Association's fundraising campaign to support our school.  This fundraising campaign supports the programs that make High Tech High a unique, world-renowned educational experience (have you watched Most Likely to Succeed, a documentary about the HTH approach?) – things like field excursions and classroom projects. It is a direct investment in each of our students’ futures.

You can make your donation here!


Sports Booster Club 

The High Tech Booster Committee’s goal is to support every high school athletics team as it becomes self-funding, including raising funds for coaching. It is a parent-run committee of the HTH Foundation and is open to parents/guardians of high school athletes, including Team Parents, as well as coaches and even students themselves. While we also welcome middle and elementary school parents who would like to get involved as we build support for sports throughout all levels of High Tech High, the primary emphasis (at the moment) is high school.

We meet monthly in the evening by Zoom, so that people from all 4 villages are able to participate. At meetings, we share best practices, fundraising ideas, communication ideas, needs, and resources. It’s a great group so far, and we would love to build our membership! To be added to our email list, contact Susan Wiczynski (HTHM) at susanmcauliffe@yahoo.com



Lunch Monitor and Admin Support Volunteer Opportunities 

Do you, or a grandparent, have some time to spare? Please consider signing up for a lunch monitor shift or an admin support shift for the day. The donation of your time will give our teachers and staff valuable prep time. Not sure what to do? You'll receive a training. Lunch begins at 11AM. Admin Support positions are on Fridays.

Who Are We?

Parents of HTM students are automatically members of the Parent Association (PA). We value your input, welcome assistance and encourage your involvement.

The parent association’s goal is to support and enrich the programs offered to HTM students, including updated chrome books, school libraries and field trips to name a few.  Our ability to reach our goals depends on the success of our fundraisers (through Project Give and events like the Fund run).  

The Fall campaign, Project Give, is our biggest fundraiser of the year.  Our goal this year is $10,000. Last year, through the campaign, the HTM Community raised $12,025.  Money raised this year will go directly into your child's classroom in the form of teacher grants. The funds can be used for field work, classroom and project supplies and technology.  

We are a "501(c)(3)" meaning, a nonprofit organization that has been approved by the IRS as a tax-exempt, charitable organization.  So, talk with your accountant of course, but part of your donations are tax deductible (woot woot!)

Anticipated funding needs:

  • Funding to Enhance Student Experience including technology 
  • Supporting teacher's projects with classroom resources and project materials.
  • Organizing student events that will foster community among our students and families
  • Ongoing PPE needs

Thank you for your support!

Have questions?  Need more information?  Have ideas?  Please send us an email!  We truly are, more than ever, in this together!
