Williamstown High forms PTA
WILLIAMSTOWN — Williamstown High School administrators are hoping to generate more parent involvement at the school by bringing the PTA to WHS. Williamstown High is the first secondary school in Wood County to have a Parent-Teacher Association. The school began its membership drive at the seventh-grade orientation event prior to the start of the school year. “We signed up more than 20 parents at the orientation session,” said Principal Pat Peters. “We hope to have another signup available at our Open House (in October).” Peters said the school has three active parent and community groups within the school — athletic boosters, band boosters and the academic improvement group. Peters said the purpose of the PTA is not to replace or compete with any of the existing groups, but rather to help get more parents involved and to help out in areas not covered by the other three organizations.
