West Seattle High School PTSA invites you to join us and help create a forum for parents, students, and teachers to work together towards the common goal of improving the school for all!  West Seattle High School has a strong sense of community and is well supported by an outstanding staff, PTSA, booster groups, West Seattle Alumni Association, and the West Seattle High School Foundation. Throughout the school year, we will be working to support and enhance learning for our students.

The PTSA is committed to student academic growth and is grounded in parent involvement.

One key to staying involved is staying informed with what is happening at school.  The PTSA is your connection to everything Westside!  We are committed to creating an environment where parents, faculty, staff, and community members come together to discuss educational issues and share information.  As voting members of an organized group, our decisions and recommendations will strongly influence our school.  Your West Seattle High PTSA is an advocate for all WSHS students, including YOUR student.
