PTSA

The AHS PTSA meets on the first school Monday of each month at 7:00pm in the AHS Library.

Next meeting:   December 7

Join the AHS News eTree to receive the latest information (more info below).

 

The AHS PTSA supports and assists Albany High School and its students in many ways, including financial support, coordinating activities and volunteers, providing communications links, and parent education. The PTSA works closely with the school to respond to site-specific needs. The past few years one of our big programs has been to provide “mini-grants” to student groups and staff for projects specifically benefiting students. To join the PTSA, download the form at left.

This is our PTSA. Please get involved - working together we can make a difference in our students' experiences at AHS. Let's build our community and improve communication. We have lots of places for involvement - come to meetings or take on a job. We have opportunities of all types: big or small, one-time or ongoing, solo or with a group!
