PTA
A critical key to a successful education is the family. Hillside Academy is a member of the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Both parents and community members are invited to become integral members of the school "family," and serve in many capacities throughout the school.
Your involvement in your child's education is more important than you know. If you have talents or abilities that might provide support or assistance to our school, please let us know!
PTA awards
Our fabulous PTA won several awards at the GISD PTA Council Luncheon on Friday, May 5, 2017. Our PTA was recognized for Outstanding Volunteer Program, Family and Community Engagement Award, Parent Educator of the Year, and Outstanding PTA of the Year! We are so blessed to have an amazing PTA that does so much to make our school successful.

Eagles nest mentor program
Our Eagles Nest Mentor Program is seeking families who have been at Hillside for 2 years or more who would like to befriend a new Hillside family. There are needs for families who speak Spanish, English, or are bilingual. A handful of our new families on the mentor waiting list would appreciate a spanish-fluent mentor. Please contact Jenn Hartfield if you would enjoy serving the Hillside community this way!
