Clark PTSA Membership

What it means to join the CHS PTSA:

When you join the CHS PTSA, you join a community that encourages students achievement and believes in building partnerships between families and school. Membership has many benefits:

You will send a clear message to your child that you value education and that you will do everything you can to help them realize their full potential.
You get connected with teachers, staff, other parents and other students, the best way to learn what is really going on at CHS.
You can gather and share parenting information with other parents and teachers, people who really care about raising kids in today's world.
You have a voice in how the PTSA prioritizes its goals and spends its limited resources. Only members can vote and hold a PTSA office.
You get access to member-only sections of the Texas and National PTA's websites and get to take advantage of some great discounts at Hertz, Metlife, Office Max and T-Mobile.

What it DOES NOT mean when you join the CHS PTSA:

Joining the CHS PTSA does not mean that you have promised to volunteer at Clark. Yes, we need parents to help with events and to assist teachers. But members are not required to meet any kind of volunteer hours commitment. So don't let your busy schedule keep you from being a CHS PTSA member!

Where do my PTSA dues go?

The dues you pay to join the PTSA are divided between Texas PTA and the CHS PTSA. The Texas PTA uses their portion to provide legislative advocacy for all children in Texas. The CHS PTSA uses your dues to help us pay for many contributions we make to Clark High School each year include:

Cougar Chow
Teacher luncheons
Teacher appreciation week
Counselor Booklets for incoming students
Assemblies
Classroom wish list items
Items for students in need
A table for Clark staff at the Teacher of the Year Banquet
Donations to each counselor of school supplies to be given to students in need
PSHS After Dark

When you join Clark PTSA, you automatically also join Texas PTA and National PTA. Texas PTA members receive additional benefits such as discounts at major companies. View Texas PTA Member Benefits.
