How to get involved :::

The LTHS Parent Teacher Council encourages parents to get involved in PTC activities. There are several ways parents can get involved:
· Attend PTC board meetings.
· Volunteer to serve on the PTC Board. Board positions include president, vice president (ascends to president in year two), recording secretary, corresponding secretary and treasurer (two-year position).
· Volunteer to chair a PTC committee.
· Volunteer to help on a committee. Serving on a committee is a great way to way to meet other parents while participating in your student’s high school activities.
