The Western PTSA (Parent, Teacher, Student Organization) would like to welcome everyone back to school! We are excited about the school year and look forward to supporting Western High School.
Join PTSA
We are a stronger community when all families join and actively participate in the PTSA. The PTSA is a great way for parents, teachers, and staff to enrich the experience of all our students. You can join any time (the membership drive never ends). An annual membership to the PTSA costs $10 per teacher/student/parent/guardian/alum. The PTSA membership dues stay with our school, and a portion is sent up to support the work of your PTSA Council.
Ways to join
In-person at Western High School Parent Center $10.00
or online membership form $11.00
* $1.00 processing fee applies.
