Welcome to the Oakton High School PTSA 2026-2027

Join. Connect. Shape Oakton.

Welcome to a new school year and to the Oakton High School PTSA!

Our vision is to build a One Oakton community—a school where students, families, teachers, staff, and community members feel connected, heard, and invested in helping every student thrive.

The PTSA is more than meetings and events. It is a place to build relationships, share ideas, support our students and staff, and help shape the priorities that strengthen our school community.

Join us and add your voice.
Connect with families, students, teachers, and staff.
Shape Oakton by helping turn ideas into meaningful action.

Whether you have a lot of time to give or simply want to become a member and stay connected, there is a place for you here. Every voice, every idea, and every contribution helps us build something stronger together.

Students, we want your voices at the table too. Your experiences and ideas should help shape the community we are creating for you.

This year, I invite you to move beyond simply being part of Oakton and help shape what Oakton can become.

Together, we can create a community where people feel welcomed, supported, connected, and proud to say:

We are One Oakton.

We look forward to getting to know you and building an incredible year together.

Join. Connect. Shape Oakton.

Why Join the Oakton PTSA?

The Oakton HS PTSA is a local unit of National PTA, the oldest and largest child advocacy association in America. Today’s National PTA is comprised of 5 million parents, teachers, grandparents, caregivers, foster parents and other caring adults who share a commitment to improving the education, health, and safety of all children.

We speak with One Voice for Every Child. When PTSA gets involved, children benefit. When YOU get involved with PTSA, the child who benefits the most is YOURS.

Out of your membership fee, $5.00/per person in dues is divided between local, State and National PTA.
Any amount over these dues stays within our school to fund teacher and student led club mini grants, speakers, appreciation and social events.
All donations are tax deductible!

Your membership allows you much more than a vote at our general session meetings and PTA member discount.

By volunteering, you gain valuable experiences while putting your skills and interests to use for a good cause.
By getting involved, you show your student the importance of giving back to their community while helping to make positive change.
PTSA events provide opportunities to socialize with other parents and make new personal and professional connections.
PTSA meetings are a forum for exchanging ideas, make suggestions and provide your input for the Oakton HS community.

Joining the PTSA does not obligate you to volunteer at school or attend PTSA meetings...but we hope you will!

Thank you for your support!

8 Reasons Why Students Should Join the PTSA

As a student, you know what's happening in your school and you are uniquely qualified to determine how your education can be improved. You can provide this important student perspective for PTSA ideas and programs. Instead of being spoken for, you can speak for yourself. After all, you are the reason there is an education system.
PTSA provides you with an open forum for discussing students' needs in the school. You express your views to people who share your concerns about education, including teachers and school administrators who make final decisions.
You can make a difference in your community and school through involvement in PTSA programs that address issues such as school violence, bullies, cliques, alcohol and substance abuse, smoking, teenage sexuality and adolescent health concerns.
Membership in the PTSA is your direct connection to the Virginia PTA and to a nationwide network of more than six million members in the National PTA, one of the largest child advocacy and volunteer organizations in the world. The National PTA is your voice in Washington, DC, just as the Virginia PTA serves your local interests in Richmond.
Learning means doing in PTSA. You can attend school board meetings with members of your unit, become an expert of issues of education and legislation and help gather community support for school board referendums and other legislation important to you and your school. You gain an understanding of public education and how it works, the operations of state and local governments and school boards as they affect schools. You learn about the legislation process and its impact on school funding and services.
PTSA involvement helps you gain leadership skills such as goal setting and conflict resolution.You learn how to run a meeting according to parliamentary procedures, strengthen your decision-making skills and speak in public-comfortably.
PTSA is one of the few youth-focused organizations which give its youth members equal opportunity, equal responsibility and an equal vote. Your membership entitles students to the same rights and privileges as adult members. You can become a leader in your unit by serving as a chairperson of a committee. Many of the contacts you make in the community during your PTSA work may prove useful after graduation (e.g. college recommendation letters, scholarship opportunities, and job prospects).
PTSA is an excellent way to meet people and to get involved in your school and in your education. You can make an impact on school policy or you will have a voice in determining the direction of your education.
