Volunteering at Garfield HS

Greetings from the Garfield High School Volunteer Program!

We are excited to start the 2025-26 school year and continue to build a Volunteer Program where the activities and volunteers reflect our diverse student body and provide opportunities which support all their interests and needs. Volunteers are essential members of a positive and successful school community; by giving their time, energy and expertise, volunteers help ensure that Garfield High School is a place where every student thrives. We welcome and encourage all parents, guardians, alumni, and members of the community to volunteer at Garfield HS.

My name is Rosario Nunez Guzman, and I’m excited to introduce myself as Garfield High School’s new Volunteer Coordinator and Assistant Secretary. It’s an honor to step into this role and begin working with such a dedicated and vibrant school community. As Volunteer Coordinator, my role is to serve as a bridge between the school, our families, faculty, and the wider community. Together, we can create meaningful opportunities for involvement that support our students’ growth and success—whether that means volunteering in the classroom, assisting at events, or sharing your expertise in other ways. Your time and talents are always valued here!

Thank you! Please feel free to email me at rnunezguzman@seattleschools.org to get more information or if you want to get involved!
