What is EHSA?

The Edgewood Home and School Association (EHSA) is an organization made up of parents and guardians of Edgewood students along with Edgewood staff. We provide financial and personal support to the school to assist with reading programs, field trips, books, technology support and other activities that are not in the school budget. We also provide financial help to purchase needed items that help benefit the students in their classrooms. The EHSA also provides social opportunities for the students and their families outside of the normal school day.
