PTA Mission / Membership

PTA President: Michele Kasper and EVP: Jennifer Mutz

Since 1955, our PTA has been working to enrich and support the school life of every student and parent. The PTA consists of both parents and school staff.

We provide opportunities for parents to participate in the life of the school as well as sponsor social events to bring parents, teachers and families together to enhance the sense of community.

You may exercise your voting privileges at our PTA general meetings that are held throughout the school year. During these meetings we discuss and vote on the direction and future of our PTA and its programs. Beyond our own school, when you join the PTA, you become a part of a group of over 1 million PTA members in California.
