  • HEHS Booster Welcome

    Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year from the Hoffman Estates Hawk Boosters! The purpose of Hawk Boosters is to support curricular and extra-curricular activities at Hoffman Estates High School. We do this through fundraising and volunteering for school events. Our goal is to strengthen the connection between school, home, community, and faculty. There is no PTA or PTSA at HEHS, Hawk Boosters is the main parent group at HEHS, and we look forward to your involvement and support.

     

    We Help HEHS Student & Staff

     

    Hawk Boosters is self-funded and supports school improvements, school events and activi-ties, athletics, and clubs. We are committed to assisting the school in any way that is needed, collaborate with school projects and provide volunteers when needed. We help subsidize large school projects, provide scholarships to seniors, provide refreshments at school dances for over 1000 students as well as at special events, provide a gift for all incoming freshman, plan and subsidize an enhanced prom experience, recognize a group of students monthly, and so much more.
