The Kula School PTA is a 501(c)(3) organization created to support the education of Kula School students. We are a membership organization with members who are parents, teachers, friends, alumni, community members and local businesses. Kula PTA is a local PTA unit of the Hawaii Congress of Parents, Teachers and Students (HSPTSA), which is a branch of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers (the National PTA).

The Kula School Bylaws govern the operations of the PTA. The PTA email address is kulapta@gmail.com. We do not have a physical office.
