PFA Educational Programs
Currently, the Educational Support Committee offers the following programs:
PSAT/SAT Prep is offered in the early fall, prior to the October PSAT date, after school hours. Taught by HTHS teachers, the SAT Prep program is aimed at familiarizing students with the format and probable content matter of the PSAT and SAT tests. It is recommended for sophomores and juniors. There is a minimal fee which covers the cost of text material.
Driver's Education is offered after school hours and provides students with the 30-hour in-class component of standard high school drivers’’ education classes. The course is taught by a certified teacher (certified by both the NJ State Department of Education and the NJ Department of Motor Vehicles). This course is recommended for students 16 years and older. The fee for the program covers the cost of teacher and materials.
Career Day takes place in the spring and is open to all freshmen, sophomores and juniors. Professionals from such varying careers as actuaries, physicists, architects, doctors, dentists, computer programmers, civil engineers, chemical engineers, pilots and others are invited to come speak to the students about their careers.
Research Grants are provided to students for their sophomore research projects. Funds are also provided for various club activities upon request. Each request for grant money is reviewed by the Executive Committee of the PFA.
