PTSA is no longer a noun. It's an action plan for your child's success.

There's no wrong way to PTSA. However you do it, it’s all an investment in your child. PTSA to support your child’s teachers and curriculum. PTSA to advocate on the issues impacting your child and affect change at the local, state and national levels. PTSA to build a stronger, more diverse and inclusive school community.

Somerville High School PTSA can't function without volunteers. Whether it's behind the scenes or front and center helping at events, we need you!
