Parent Leadership Team

The Parent Leadership Team (PLT) consists of a group of dedicated parents who wish to support Common Ground High School. The PLT provides feedback on important school-related decisions, encourages parent engagement, plans fundraisers, and social events. The group typically meets on Saturdays from 9-11am. A light breakfast is always provided. The PLT understands that parents are busy - if you cannot attend a meeting, but would like to be involved in other ways, we are always seek parents willing to help out with fundraisers, social events, and advocacy.

Join us for our next meeting on Saturday May 14, 2011 from 9am-11am.
