Volunteer in the Public Schools,

2020-2021

There will be numerous volunteer opportunities through the PTO as well as through your child's cohort and club activities.  To volunteer at EIHS for on-campus activities and field trips, you will need to register through VIPS (HISD's Volunteer in the Public Schools program). 

HISD requires that all volunteers register online in the Raptor volunteer management system and agree to the annual background check for each school year.  VIPS approval expires each academic year on July 31st.  Last year's VIPS approval will not renew for the next year.
