The Eli Whitney PTSA welcomes you to our amazing community! At Eli Whitney, our students are at the heart of everything we do. The PTSA’s mission is to advocate for all students so they can reach their full potential through engaging, community-building activities. When your family joins the PTSA, your fee goes toward supporting our staff and students with supplies, spirit building and enrichment opportunities. Being a member of the PTSA helps you know what’s happening at Eli Whitney, meet other parents and teachers, and share ideas, concerns and experiences. Joining the PTSA is commitment-free; you are welcome to participate as much—or as little—as you like. Look for updates about events and meetings in the Whitney Weekly newsletter. We hope you will join us in making this school year awesome. We look forward to having your family as proud members of the Eli Whitney PTSA!
