Why a PTSA in High School?

Some people are surprised to learn that Carson High has a PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association). Well, of course we do! All of us are concerned about the students welfare and becoming a member of the PTSA is a great way to help.

PTSA brings parents, teachers, students and the community together to share thoughts, ideas and concerns that impact the students achievement, safety, health and wellness as well as legislation that effects all students. PTSA works on programs and activities that benefit Carson High School teens.

PTSA supports and sponsors programs such as:

• Holiday Craft Fair in November
• Adopt-A-Family for Christmas
• Reflections Contest in January
• Faculty/Staff Appreciation in May
• Senior class Bar-B-Que
• Safe Grad in June - The Safe Grad planning committee is going to start meeting the first Monday of every month, beginning next week - Feb. 1st, and then March 1, April 12 and May 3.  Our meetings are at 6 pm in Room 111.

Proceeds from the Holiday Craft Fair supports the Reflections program, Adopt-A-Family for Christmas, Safe Grad, and Faculty/Staff Appreciation. The PTSA gave out over $12,220.00 to support numerous clubs and student programs at our school during the 2008-2009 school year.
