OUR LINCOLN COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU! All PTSA members are strongly encouraged to join the Board to share your ideas and suggestions on how we can improve our school and community. The Nominating Committee searches for candidates to fill four (4) elected PTSA positions. However, to better serve our school, a completed Board includes non-elected positions.
Interested students, parents/guardians, and staff may email us using the form below stating the position(s) desired along with any relevant experience. To be eligible for election and/or to vote, you must be a member of the ALHS PTSA at least 30 days prior to the election (by mid-March).
The Nominating Committee will review interested candidates and select one candidate for each elected position. The list of selected candidates is called the "slate." The membership will vote for each elected position on the slate and for any other PTSA member present who wants to be considered for the position.
