VOLUNTEERS NEEDED / PTA NOMINATION COMMITTEE

MHS PTA needs four (4) volunteers for this year’s nomination committee. The committee will work to identify candidates to fill MHS PTA Executive Board seats for the 2025-26 school year as officers’ terms of service expire. YOU can be a crucial voice in shaping the PTA. No experience needed and this only requires a few hours of your time over the next few weeks.

Please email ptapres@mhs-pta.org if you are interested in serving on this committee.
