About Hirsch PTA

A community of parents, teachers, and families committed to building the best possible experience for every Hirsch student.

Who We Are

"Committed to building a better community among our Hirsch families."

The O.N. Hirsch Elementary PTA is a parent-run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving Fremont's K–5 Hirsch community. We fund programs, coordinate events, and advocate for every student — from classroom supplies and field trips to arts programs, assemblies, and cultural celebrations.

As a chapter of the National PTA and California State PTA, we're part of the largest child advocacy organization in the United States. Local decisions and funds stay local — 100% of what we raise goes directly back to Hirsch students and families.

We also believe in running in the open: association meetings are open to everyone, and our agendas, minutes, and budget are available to all members on the Meetings & Documents page.
