PTSA

Welcome Parents, Faculty, Students, and Community Partners!

What we do Create an environment that supports our kids to become future community leaders, promote school spirit and recognize the dedication our teachers have for our students. We have an amazing Duluth High culture and your involvement MATTERS. All funds earned… Go back to supporting Duluth High School teachers, administration, students and families. Partnering with you and local community businesses is key to bringing events like these to life for our Wildcats! We bring you activities like: Spirit Nights, Teacher Appreciation Events & Treats, Spirit Wear, Homecoming Night, Student Treats for Finals Week, Senior Yard Signs, Classroom Supply Drive, Senior Celebration Activities, Annual Membership Drive Activities, Senior Scholarships, Community Trunk or Treat (Wildcatober), Teacher/Staff Holiday Treats, Finals Week Biscuits & Donuts and more – depending on your support.		We can’t do this without you! We are a small group of volunteers serving 200+ teachers and staff and 2,700+ students. No amount of support is too small! We really appreciate anything you can contribute. We always need committee chairs for events, but you can co-chair. Or you can be part of a committee to do things like put together centerpieces, help raise sponsorship funds, work the coat check at Homecoming, set up/break down our PTSA tables at International Night, order spirit wear and sell it at school events, deliver treats to teachers during holidays, sell bottled water at the Duluth Fall Festival. Watch out for our announcements in email, social media, bulletin board outside the family center and the DHS newsletter Cat Tracks.
