Calling All Glasgow MS Parents/Guardians: Consider Applying for PTA Board Leadership Roles

As we begin planning for the upcoming school year (2026-2027), the Glasgow PTA is excited to open the nomination process for our PTA Board positions: President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. 

Serving on the PTA Board is a meaningful way to support our school community, collaborate with dedicated parents and staff, and help shape the experiences of our students. Whether you’ve been involved with the PTA for years or are looking to take a more active role, we encourage you to consider applying.

Each position plays an important role. No matter your background or experience level, your perspective and commitment can make a difference. If you’re interested (or know anyone that might be) or would like to learn more about any of these roles, please don’t hesitate to reach out - glasgowpta.va@gmail.com. We’d be happy to answer questions and help you find the best fit.

Thank you for your continued support of our school community! And remember we still have two major events coming up: Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4-8th) and the 8th Grade Promotion Dance (June 6th).
