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

Our Kids and Schools Need a WIN!
Join us to go to bat for kids! The 48th annual Washington State PTA Legislative Assembly will take place on October 18-19, 2025 at the Doubletree Hilton SeaTac.
Every PTA needs the skill set, network and knowledge base to step up to the plate and effectively engage with local, state and federal decision makers. This year will include a “training camp” with opportunities for hands-on practice and interactive learning to prepare us to speak up for kids and swing for the fences in our communities and the upcoming legislative session.
In addition, Legislative Assembly is where delegates from local PTAs across Washington state gather to learn about, debate, and vote on the organization’s public policy positions. This year will include voting on legislative principles, a legislative issue, and resolutions. Step up to the plate and let your voice be heard!

Regular registration $175 until noon 10/6/2025
