Huntington Beach Pupil Services Association
The Huntington Beach Pupil Service Association (HBPSA) is recognized by Huntington Beach Union High School District (HBUHSD) as the exclusive employee organization representing school psychologists, school counselors, wellness specialists, and program specialists. This acknowledgment earned us an opportunity to serve in leadership roles, communicate district, state, and federal information impacting our members, provide contractual protection to our members and take an active role in promoting an understanding of pupil support services in the district and community.
The purpose of the HBPSA is for school psychologists, student support school psychologists, school counselors, wellness specialists and program specialists to have the means to speak in a common voice on all matters affecting Educational Support Professionals. Our members address the mental health and educational needs of students and uphold the integrity of the profession as a whole.
