Home & School Association
Home & School Association
Home and School Association (HSA) is the parent organization of Saint Rita Catholic School. Our goal is to enrich the educational experience of our children at Saint Rita Catholic School through special events, volunteer programs, and community building. Membership is automatic for all parents of Saint Rita students, and each family is charged $50 dues in the fall. All money raised by HSA goes directly to the school to benefit our students and teachers.
