WWP High School North
Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA)
***What’s it all about***
Where does the PTSA’s money come from?
The majority of our money comes from your donations to our Just Write A Check (JWAC) campaign and Membership Dues.
What do we do with the money?
- Senior Scholarships to eligible graduating seniors: In 2021, HSN PTSA dispersed monetary awards to seven (7) 2021 graduates, totaling $3,000.
- Post Prom: In 2021, the PTSA gave $1,000 to help cover their costs.
- Faculty Appreciation Events: To show appreciation for all the hard work our teachers and staff invest into our students, we host a Staff Appreciation Lunch as well as provide refreshments to our HSN Staff on first in service day and on Back to School Night. In lieu of a luncheon this year due to COVID, we purchased individual boxed lunches for our teachers and staff.
- Mini grants: One to the science department, Spanish language department and American Studies/Human Behavior department.
