Food Handler's Permit - This year the Highland PTA is going to sponsor your food handler's card as a membership benefit! After you take the quick course and pass the incredibly easy test, please email highlandpta.vicepresident@gmail.com to get your group code and we will pay for your card. While it isn't required for you to have a food handler's card in order to volunteer at an event where we serve food, we highly encourage it, and you can use the card ANYWHERE, not just at PTA events! Cards are good for 2 years after the date you pass the test.
Your membership isn't just a membership—it's a voice, a vote, and a way to make a difference at Highland!
