The A&M Parent-Teacher-Student Association (PTSA) is a non-profit association of parents, educators, teachers and students that seek to enhance the academic experience of the A&M Charter High School community. The PTSA seeks to broaden the quality of arts education for students at A&M Charter High School, encouraging them to explore their artistic talents and to create works of art in the areas of dance, choreography, film production, literature, musical composition, photography, and the visual arts. Parents, teachers, staff, and community members all play a critical role in providing a positive learning environment for our children. Supporting the PTSA is one way you can increase student achievement, foster student talents, and promote the arts in your home, your school, and your community.
