In order to become a Volunteer you must first fill out the Volunteer Application form. Please CLICK HERE to complete this process. It's best to go ahead and apply for the Volunteer II status and check everything when asked what you will be doing in the school. Volunteer II status gives you the greatest number of possibilities to volunteer at Hughes Academy... i.e. mentor, and field trip chaperone. Approvals generally will last for 2 years. We love our Volunteers and are thrilled to have you this year!

THE COUGAR SHACK RETURNS with fun new items, along with old favorites: Nerds Gummy Clusters, Little Bites Party Muffins, Fruit Snacks, Skittles, Nutella, Airheads Xtremes, Candy Bars, Takis, Starbucks Pink Drink and more!! Everything is priced at $1 or $2. Please bring smaller bills and nothing larger than $20.

JOIN THE PTSA! Make sure each adult in your home AND your Hughes student have memberships. Students who join the PTSA will get a special dress down day this fall! Each membership is $5.

SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL with a business sponsorship or an individual donation. Friends of Hughes Business Sponsors receive a car line banner and social media recognition to promote their business. Hughes Heroes make individual donations that go directly toward improving our school. Our PTSA relies on your support to ensure students and teachers have the items they need and deserve! Deadline is September 13.

LAST CHANCE TO RESERVE A BIRTHDAY ANNOUNCEMENT for your student. Celebrate your student with a message on the school’s CCTV screens on his or her birthday for just $10! Announcements must be reserved by August 31.

Check all these items off your list at: hughesacademy.givebacks.com/store
