Parent Commitment Information

HPA is a family activity and requires a parent commitment when students are involved. A wide variety of options are available. Before committing to HPA participation, please take time to read the details of a variety of parent commitment options. You will need to provide three possibilities when completing your form prior to audition day. A brief description of each committee is below. Use the links to view the detailed commitment.
