What Is the PTSA?

Mountain View High School’s Parent Teacher Student Association welcomes all parents, students and staff and encourages everyone to join the group. The PTSA is the voice for MVHS parents, teachers and students. It provides a safe place for debate, conversation and suggestions for improvement when issues arise on campus. We provide volunteer and financial support for the high school, and our collective voice is more powerful with a high number of PTSA members. The PTSA holds semi-monthly meetings on campus to discuss business and campus issues. The meetings are also an opportunity to hear from guest speakers about educational key programs.
