Mission Statement

The Skyline High School PTSA supports the staff, students, and families at Skyline in ways that help students achieve academic and personal success both at Skyline and in their post-high school years. Skyline PTSA works closely with the Skyline administration and key partner organizations, including ASB, Boosters, Site Council, Issaquah PTSA Council, Issaquah Schools Foundation, and Volunteers for Issaquah Schools to provide meaningful programs, effective advocacy, and financial support to our school.

Goals for 2007-2008

  1. Develop a close partnership with Principal Lisa Hechtman and her staff via bi-monthly meetings between Presidents and Principal.

  2. Develop a Parent Education program at Skyline that helps reconnect parents with the school by appointing Chairs that will coordinate communications of Issaquah PTSA Council’s Parent Ed Network offerings as well as develop programs specific to Skyline.
