The West High PSTO (Parent Student Teacher Organization) welcomes ALL parents, students and teachers as members. Each year the West PSTO works to keep parents informed and serves the school's staff and students in many ways.
STAFF APPRECIATION is shown through meals and refreshments served before parent/teacher conferences and on staff in-service days. Donations of food and money help the PSTO offer this small token of appreciation to the staff for all they do for our students.
PARENT VOLUNTEERS are provided through the PSTO each year to do everything from proctor exams and chaperone field trips to register students and plant trees on campus.
ANNUAL PSTO ART SHOW held each year to recognize and showcase the many talented art students at West High.
INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS for parents on a wide range of topics are sponsored each year by the PSTO and offered during monthly meetings and occasional evening presentations.
