Welcome to Whitman from the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA)! Our PTSA is a 501(c)(3) organization that supports Whitman’s students, families, and staff. We are here to make sure you have the opportunity to stay connected to your student's middle school experience.
Many research studies have shown that when parents/guardians are involved in their child's education, these students achieve more regardless of socio-economic status/ethnic background or even their own parent's education level.
Middle school students begin to develop a sense of self and independence that is separate from their families, making parents and guardians unsure how much to be involved or how to be involved. We have many opportunities to help parents stay connected and aware.
