Welcome to the 2026 Election Page of
the Downingtown High Schools Music Parents Association
A dedicated MPA Executive Board contributes to the success of all of our DHS Music Programs. We need volunteers to make the magic happen! Our MPA Executive Board oversees many of the functions of our music programs and allows our music programs to share the benefits of operating as one non-profit organization. Our structure eliminates duplication of efforts and provides all our music programs with access to shared resources. For more about what the MPA does, please visit our What is the MPA? webpage.
While our official nomination process has concluded, we are still in need of an Assistant Treasurer (West) to join the MPA Executive Board for the 26-27 and 27-28 school years. All parents/guardians of DHS music students are eligible to hold an Executive Board position, including incoming Freshman parents/guardians. Parents/guardians of the class of 2026 may be involved in the nomination and election process. Please consider nominating yourself or another parent for a position on the DHS MPA Executive Board. Sometimes, a nomination made by a peer provides the confidence and encouragement for a volunteer to fill a position. All nominees will be contacted for acceptance of their nomination prior to being elected.
Specifics about the Executive Board positions are available in our Roles and Responsibilities document. Any additional questions can be sent to dhs.mpa.mtk@gmail.com.
UPDATE - This year, we had one candidate nominated for each available Executive Board position, with the exception of Assistant Treasurer (West), which is still vacant.
Since there is only one candidate for each open position, a general membership election is not required this year. The Board approval process is currently underway and, once finalized, the Executive Board roster for 2026-2027 will be shared with all music families.
