The Howard County Chinese School Parent Association (PTA) is a volunteer organization composed of parents and teachers of Howard County Chinese School. We are always dedicated to assisting the school in creating a positive Chinese learning environment, promoting the excellence of Chinese cultural traditions, and enriching students’ life. Over the years, the Parent Association has actively fostered close connections among parents, teachers, and students by building smooth communication channels, fully supporting the school’s teaching efforts and various activities, and organizing special projects that benefit the school, families, and the community.

The PTA’s work covers many areas: we have successfully organized and assisted major annual events such as the school-wide Field Day, Spring Festival Gala, and graduation ceremony; regularly host public welfare lectures; distribute community news; and co-host parent meetings and Chinese language competitions. In cultivating students’ overall development, the PTA continuously supports the growth of the SGA and various student clubs, including, the Galvel Club, and the Robotics Club. Every Teacher’s Day, we organize flower presentations and carry out charity sales and fundraising activities.

In community service, the PTA has always been at the forefront. We actively participated in the 2020 U.S. Census outreach efforts and established the Howard County BranchOut© Chapter. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the PTA mobilized students and parents to handcraft protective face shields, which were sent to hospitals in New York and locally to support frontline medical workers; at the same time, we organized the “United Against COVID” English tutoring program to assist children of oversea healthcare workers.

Behind every wonderful event is the selfless dedication and enthusiastic participation of our parents. We sincerely invite you to join this warm family and work together with us to contribute to the growth of our children, the development of Howard County Chinese School, and the prosperity of the entire community! Let’s join hands and create a better tomorrow for the next generation!
