PTA vs PTSA

Have you wondered why we are a PTSA and not a PTA?

In the beginning of time, when the National Parent Teacher Association was started it was known as PTA. Then as they progressed and grew, some wanted to include their students in the local organization. As new units formed they included the S in PTA so students would be and feel included. Older units also made the change to reflect the importance of having students represented.

Hutchison High School PTSA was organized in the spring of 2009. We intentionally organized as a PTSA from the very beginning. We recognize our students and encourage their involvement in this organization. Hutchison High School students are welcome to join and attend our monthly general meetings. We hope to see some of you on November 3rd, 2009 at 5:30pm in the library!
