Join the Garfield HS PTSA

We need you! Help the PTSA in 2026-27

We are actively seeking volunteers for many open positions next school year, and invite parents and caregivers who are interested in volunteering at Garfield to get in touch! 

Volunteer positions range from event-specific roles that can be done remotely on a flexible schedule (e.g., Grad Night planning committee) to ongoing roles such as co-editing our PTSA newsletter or serving as the Secretary on our board (help keep us organized with agendas and meeting minutes)! Please email Gabrielle Ventenbergs if you are interested! Many of the current PTSA leaders and volunteers are graduating. Start now to shadow and learn about your role. This way we can hit the ground running at the start of next school year.

Members need to join or renew their membership in the Garfield PTSA each year. We make it easy to join. Visit the GHS PTSA website and make sure that the top box is checked and any other appropriate boxes and select submit! No PTSA “dues” or other financial barriers to PTSA membership exist at Garfield. Instead of collecting membership dues, we ask for contributions to our Annual Fund from families who are financially able.

PTSA funds are used to support school activities, clubs and so much more.

As of July 1, 2026
