Learn about LT!  PTC is a great opportunity to learn more about the valuable programs and administration of LTHS and help make a difference in the school and extracurricular experience of the student. Being a part of the PTC Board gives you the opportunity to get involved in a meaningful way. 

Easy volunteer commitment! The PTC meets fives times a year at 7 p.m. in the South Campus, room D103. Board members are busy parents, like you. Most work FT and have full schedules at work and home.
