WHAT WE DO
COMMITTEES, PROGRAMS & EVENTS POWERED BY VOLUNTEERs
Throughout the year, the PTC organizes programs, events, and activities like Art Literacy, Science Fair, Trunk or Treat, Bingo Night, and more. We provide cash grants to Hiteon Staff and fund assemblies, field trips, author visits, sound systems, technology upgrades, and school furnishings.
Hiteon PTC maintains bulletin boards and decoration support to highlight current events happening in the school. Another area of organizing includes service projects like health screening as well as clothing and food donation support that benefits our overall community.
