Purpose

Northwest High School has an active Parent Teacher Association.  PTA is the largest volunteer child advocacy organization in the United States with the mission to support educational issues and legislative funding for education.  At Northwest, our activities include support of staff and students through a number of both academic and educational programs.  We support Safe Homes Network, a School Bookstore for students' convenience, concession stands at school events, a Directory for students, charitable donations for the holidays, and Volunteer recruitment and organization, as well as financial support for things needed at the school to support student achievement.  During the 2006-2007 school year the PTA will also be responsible for the "Grizzly Excellence Program" which recognizes students for outstanding achievement in many different areas, by placing a recognition document on the Grizzly Wall of Excellence.
Northwest PTA is here to support and speak on behalf of our students.  We look forward to welcoming you as a member.  If you would like more information, please contact
Leslie Swearingen or Liz Hendricks.

Parents -- We need you!

Your support of the Northwest PTA is very important. We need people to volunteer, and if your time is limited, you can also show your support by just joining PTA. Stop by our table at enrollment and join a great organization that helps our school in so many ways. Family membership is only $7.00 and single membership is only $4.00.

Volunteer opportunities include hospitality, concessions, book store, chaperone of dances, Jr./Sr. Prom, and Library Aide. Sign up sheets will be available at enrollment. We also meet once a month.

One of the programs that PTA supports is fulfilling staff wish lists. Each year staff submits requests for items for their classroom or for the school. The PTA evaluates these requests and this year we have approved a large number of items totaling $10,916. These items include:

  • $760 for the Business Department
  • $1,226 for the Special Education Department
  • $235 for the Counseling Department
  • $235 for the Office
  • $75 for the Language Arts Department
  • $300 for the Math Department
  • $$4,500 for the Library furniture
  • $425 for the Physical Education Department
  • $1,000 for the Music Department
  • $762 for the Performing Arts Department
  • $1,398 for the Foreign Language Department
