PTA Advocacy
For more than 100 years, PTAs have advocated for the health, safety, welfare, and education of all children and youth and provided support to members so that they can speak with a powerful voice.
WHS PTSA continues this legacy and elevates the voices in our community on behalf of all children.
WHS PTA attends Washington State PTA's (WSPTA) Legislative Assembly to help determine our collective legislative priorities with the aim of positively impacting public education and improving outcomes for all students.
WA State PTA Top Priorities:
Addressing the Student Mental Health Crisis
Addressing Funding, Inclusion and Supports in Special Education
Preventing and Reducing Gun Violence and Suicide
Expanding School Construction Funding Options
Here are some local, state and national resources to help you find out what we're doing, get in touch with us or get involved in advocacy yourself!

The 48th annual Washington State PTA Legislative Assembly Update from October 18-19, 2025
Delegates adopted one new legislative issue “Restoring Funding for Education and Wrap Around Services” that will be added to the WSPTA 2025-2026 short term legislative platform.
Delegates also approved two new legislative principles “Budget, Revenue and Funding – Oppose private school vouchers” and “Health and Well-Being of Children and Youth – Food Insecurity.” One new resolution was approved by delegates “18.25 Rights and Services for Immigrant Children,” along with two amended resolutions “2.22 Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies: Use and Safety” and “2.19 LGBTQIA2S+ Safety and Inclusion.”
Thank you to our WHS PTSA delegates!
