When you join the PTSA, you join a partnership that encourages student achievement, enriches the learning environment, and promotes quality education for all of our students.
The PTSA is committed to creating an environment where parents, faculty, staff, and community members come together to discuss educational issues and share information. There is a strong correlation between parent involvement and student performance in school. One key to staying involved is staying informed with what is happening at the school.
As informed partners in the education of our children, we can make timely and informed decisions on issues relevant to our students and the school. As voting members of an organized group, our decisions and recommendations will strongly influence our school. We are partners in the success of our students and our school.
The strength of your PTA lies in its membership—the parents, teachers, school administrators, business leaders, and community members who devote themselves to making a positive difference in the lives of children. Members are the lifeblood of PTA and provide the passion, leadership, and hard work needed to fulfill PTA’s mission.
A West Seattle High School PTSA membership carries with it a vote on all PTSA matters. It also gives you membership to both the Seattle Council PTSA and Washington State PTA. Your membership, combined with over 145,000 other members, provides a powerful voice on educational issues. All parents, faculty, and students are encouraged to participate.
Your West Seattle High School PTSA is an advocate for all WSHS students, including YOUR student.
Membership fees are $15 for an individual or $25 for a household and $50 as a business. Students do not need a paid membership. They are able to attend meetings as honorary, non-voting members.

Together we are a powerful voice for our children and our community.
