Organization

The Hampton, NH PTA benefits the students, teachers, staff and administrators of Centre School,  Adeline C. Marston Elementary School, and Hampton Academy.

"PTAs serve as a type of forum where parents, teachers, administrators, 

and other concerned adults discuss ways to promote quality education, 

strive to expand the arts, encourage community involvement, and 

work for a healthy environment and safe neighborhoods."

- National PTA

Meetings

PTA meetings are at 5:00 PM on the 3rd Tuesday of the month in the Hampton Academy cafeteria. Meetings occur September through May, excluding December, and are open to the public. Any additional public meetings will be announced with ample notice. Prior to each meeting the meeting agenda along with any other pertinent documents will be posted on this site under Meeting Reports as well as to our Facebook page.

The PTA board also meets once a month, however, these meetings are not open to the public. Other meetings may occur, such as event committees, fundraising drives, community outreach, etc.

On rare occasions an emergency public meeting may be called where time is of the essence, as a result meeting notification may be last minute.
