Volunteer
Our PTA serves almost 1,800 students and 100 staff members at DSHS. We do this with an efficient and effective volunteer force. We have some standing committees that don't require a huge commitment and offer one-time opportunities to make a difference. We also work closely with the DSHS staff to rally parent and family volunteers for DSHS programs that may need extra support.
Examples of volunteer opportunities include:
Distribute schedules at Blue Devil Day - SIGN UP NOW! Provide support to DSHS staff as they distribute course schedules to incoming students. You can volunteer for a time slot that does NOT overlap with your student's pickup time, if that's any concern.
Chaperone a dance or other school event. While these events are organized by DSHS students and staff, the PTA membership often provides many of the parent volunteers. Watch for school and PTA annoucements as the year progresses.
Support hospitality events. This may include baking treats, filling treat boxes, picking up and delivering catered lunch to staff, decorating the staff room, or volunteering to serve on the Hospitality Committee. Reach out to the Hospitality Committee leads for more information.
Help with PIE Grants or PTA Scholarships. This may include organizing information or reviewing applications under the guidance of relevant program leads. Reach out to program leads for more information.
Volunteer to serve on the PTA Executive Board. For those who may have been on the PTA in elementary and junior high school, please know that the ask is a bit less here in high school! Reach out to the Parliamentarian for more information on specific roles or the annual election process.
To inquire about any volunteer opportunities, email the PTA President.
