Why join?
The number one reason to join is to help make a difference in your child’s education.
With a large membership, we can access more resources and stay informed together. We provide advocacy, instructional grants, student and staff celebrations, club grants, spirit wear, newsletters, and so much more.
By joining, you help the PTSA go above and beyond what the Wake County Public School System budget provides. Some things you may think are provided by the school system are actually funded — partially or fully — by your PTSA membership dues and donations.
