Founding SDHEC PTSA Parents

The students depend on parents and interested community members to provide help at dances, games, and sporting events.  They also supervise student fundraisers and events and help support their teen’s graduation activities.  For example, the freshman parents recently supervised selling snacks at a football game and with the their help, the freshman class raised over $1,000 in just a few hours!  In addition, parents can have fun chaperoning student dances and other activities while making new friends. 

PTSA supports the parents through a strong public relations publications such as the PTSA Handbook.  It also supports the Parent Center and Parent Advocacy where parents have a forum to address issues important to them.  PTSA has ties to San Diego City School Parent Congress which provide parents information about district reform efforts, academic achievement of students and other educational issues.
