PTSA Student Liaison Opportunity
Each year we look for 2-5 students from each class to serve as PTSA Student Liaisons. As a Liaison, these students are a voice for student concerns, needs, and suggestions to the PTSA and school administration. The main responsibility for this role is to be an active participant at PTSA meetings and share your opinions when asked. We encourage the Liaisons to participate in PTSA programs and activities, and even develop ideas for new programs or ideas for the school community as a team. If interested, have your student email Courtnie Ross at programs@fchsptsa.org.
