Committees PTA COMMITTEES & PROGRAMS Crocker Highlands is lucky to have a strong, committed and talented parent community willing to help support our children in many ways. We ask each family to identify one (or more!) committee to join–there are opportunities to volunteer in ways that work for everyone. Some volunteer opportunities require as little as one hour of your time. For more information, please contact volunteer@crockerschool.org. AUCTION The auction is one of our biggest fundraisers!
