Your Child Needs You!
Join with us to make a difference in the education and quality of life for our children. Children learn more and have better lives when parents, school, faculty, students and the community work together. PTA brings all these groups together to share thoughts, ideas, and activities that benefit children. Our cultural arts programs and school events are funded by your support. PTA Membership needs to be renewed each year. The cost is $10 for individual membership or $15 for both parents. Joining the PTA does not obligate you to volunteer. Your membership contribution is just as important.
