ABOUT SEQUOIA PTSA
Parents, Teachers, and Students working together for the benefit of Sequoia High School
Your continued involvement in your child’s school shows that you care about your child’s education and support the programs it offers while giving you an opportunity to connect with other like-minded parents. Research shows that students have greater success in school when their parents are involved – a win-win to be sure!
We Welcome Everyone!
Choose what fits your lifestyle and interests: sell concessions at a sporting event, plan graduation activities, proctor an IB exam, or volunteer at a staff appreciation lunch. While you don’t need to become a member of the PTSA in order to be involved, your membership dues help fund some of our activities.
