Back to School

Your PTSA is energized for another great school year! Through the 2025-26 school year we built on our commitment to the Edison Community. We sponsored two teacher and staff appreciation events: our breakfast in the fall and lunch in the spring. We awarded six mini-grants to Edison clubs and organizations. The PTSA supported families and students facing food insecurity all year. We continued our celebration of Thomas Edison's birthday with a treat for all our students. We awarded two scholarships to Edison seniors. Last, but not least, we continued our 30+ year tradition and hosted the All-Night Grad Party for 215 of our seniors.

During the last school year, Edison PTSA had a membership of 344 Parents, Teachers, and Students! With your help, we can do more this year! Join your PTSA today: https://edisonhsptsa.givebacks.com/shop.
