Cleveland PTSA 23-24

CHS PTSA Logo

The Cleveland Eagles PTSA is the Parent-Teacher-Student Association of Cleveland STEM High School. The PTSA works to enrich academics and student activities by funding important programs for students and staff, and provide advocacy for all Cleveland students.

The PTSA needs you! There are small and big ways you can support our PTSA.

Cleveland High School is a dynamic community that challenges students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Located on Beacon Hill in the heart of Seattle, this innovative and energetic school serves grades 9 through12 with students who are challenged with “how to think” rather than “what to think” in their classrooms. Students represent various ethnic, social, economic, and cultural backgrounds, bringing multiple perspectives as we cultivate future thinkers and leaders.

Attend Meetings

Watch for more information and details about our meeting for the School Year 23-24. We appreciate your patience as we figure out meeting schedule and platform! Everyone is welcome to join — all families, students, teachers, staff, school volunteers — whether you are a member or not. This is a great way to connect with the Cleveland community, get updates from the school administration, and learn about the school and its programs. We are working on providing translation services for these meetings.

Become a PTSA Member

Membership is what keeps PTSAs strong. This year, as we continue to emerge from COVID, the PTSA is also needing to build up again. A minimum of 20 members are required to maintain good standing with the Washington State PTA organization.

Volunteer Your Passion or Your Talents

In order to accomplish the many goals of the PTSA, they need people like you to volunteer. The PTSA is in need of volunteers who can:

  • Advocate for Cleveland students by attending the Seattle Council PTSA meetings and/or the District 7 PTSA Equity Group
  • Brainstorm and/or organize fundraising ideas and events (not necessarily an auction)
  • Find grant opportunities and/or write grant applications 
  • Share or use their expertise to setup and manage the PayPal and Square accounts for donations, or other fundraising platforms
  • Help revamp the PTSA website
  • Help post and/or manage the social media accounts
  • Help contribute to and/or edit the newsletter
  • Create graphics for the newsletter and social media
  • Share best practices from their previous PTSA experience

About the PTSA, Booster Club and the Auction

Cleveland High School’s Red & White Auction was held annually for the last 11 years; however, due to COVID-19, an auction has not been held since 2019.

The overall mission of the Cleveland PTSA & Cleveland Athletic Booster is to support the students, faculty, coaches, and staff by bridging the funding gap for basic athletic program needs like team uniforms and equipment, in addition to teacher appreciation, school events, student celebrations and funding request from faculty and staff at CHS. Fundraising helps us support these vital programs and supplements other school needs that are not made available from Seattle School District budgets.
