About the PTSA

The Westmont High School Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA), is a private, non-profit organization affiliated with the California State PTA and National PTA. The board is made up of volunteers who are parents like you, and we are always looking for more people who have time and talents they’re willing to share with our community. Join us!

We are part of the foundation of our public-education system and a trusted messenger to millions of members, parents, families, educators and allied agencies throughout the state. PTA is the nation’s largest volunteer-led child-advocacy association working to drive improvements in the education, health and well-being of all children and families.

We believe every adult has a responsibility to ensure that all children develop to their full potential. We believe parents are children’s first teachers and that parent involvement is essential throughout a child’s educational experience. We believe that family is the basic unit of society responsible for the support and nurturing of all children, and we recognize that “the family” may be defined in many ways. We believe our responsibility includes advocating for the safety and welfare of all children and the opportunity for a quality public education for each child.
