Executive Board

The Horace Mann PTA is powered entirely by parent, teacher and staff volunteers and other members of the Horace Mann community— people who give their time because they believe in one simple thing: our kids. Below you'll find our 2026–2027 Executive Board, along with the dedicated committee members who volunteer alongside each Vice President. We thank each and every volunteer and committee member for the time, energy, and heart they pour into our school community! We are so grateful for the support of all of our families and members to help us in leading the Husky Pack each year!
