We are 50% of the way to our $3,000 fundraising goal to fully fund the PTSA budget. The Parent Teacher Student Association supports FHS by funding school functions (eg. college admission officer speakers) and supporting wellness, diversity and volunteerism. The PTSA rewards academic achievement, offers student scholarships and funds classroom grants, teacher appreciation events and the FHS Food Bank. We rely entirely on membership dues and donations to fund the PTSA budget, and as a 501(c)3, your donation is tax deductible. For details on how the funds are spent, see the proposed budget Fairfax High School PTSA - Bylaws & Budget (fairfaxptsa.org)
