OHES PTA Standing Committees

 

The OHES PTA has five major committees with committee chairs. Committee chairs are appointed by the executive board, with two of the chairs being elected positions. The number of committees and organization of the committees is up to the executive board and can vary year to year. 

 

The activities listed under each committee are what OHES PTA has typically conducted, but new ideas and changes to events are always welcome. Committee chairs are not responsible for running every event; each event has an event chairperson(s) and volunteers.
