HIGH SCHOOL NEWS

Welcome back!

On behalf of the Garden City Parent Teachers Association, I would like to welcome you to the 2019-2020 school year and introduce myself as your PTA Director for the Garden City High School.  

Join Us

Your annual membership covers all the schools your children attend. I hope you will join me in supporting the PTA.  Just like you, PTA has supported your child from the time they entered Garden City Public Schools and continues to support them through their senior year.

You’re Invited - High School PTA Meetings

We are saving a seat for you at our PTA meetings. PTA meetings provide parents with school updates from our principal and teachers, as well as from our guest speakers.
