Our Mission

The Hickory Grove Elementary School PTO invites you to explore our website and discover how you can make a meaningful impact as a parent, guardian, or friend of our school community!

As we begin another exciting school year, we remain committed to supporting and celebrating our incredible students, teachers, and staff. Through fundraising efforts such as Corporate Sponsorships, Box Tops, Kroger Community Rewards, and Raise Right, we’re able to provide meaningful programs and opportunities that enhance the educational experience for every Hawk.

Your support helps fund PTO-sponsored initiatives including Accelerated Reader, staff appreciation events, the 5th Grade Challenger field trip, Culture Fair, library purchases, Dunlap Gives Back, classroom resources, school improvement projects, and so much more.

This year is especially exciting as we celebrate the completion of our Outdoor Learning Center. What began as a five-year, multi-phase vision has become a beautiful outdoor classroom and gathering space for students, teachers, and families to enjoy for years to come. From the learning stations to the stage and amphitheater, this incredible space is already creating new opportunities for hands-on learning, exploration, and community events.

Beyond fundraising, the PTO coordinates many of the events and programs that make Hickory Grove such a special place, including the Book Fair, Yearbook, Restaurant Nights, family events, Junior Achievement, teacher copy services, volunteer opportunities, and countless activities that strengthen the partnership between our administration, staff, families, and students.

Whether you have an hour to volunteer, attend an event, or simply support one of our fundraising programs, there is a place for everyone in the HGES PTO. Together, we can continue creating memorable experiences, supporting our teachers, and helping every student thrive.

Thank you for being part of the Hickory Grove community. We look forward to another amazing school year!
