Calling All Glasgow MS Parents/Guardians: Consider Applying for PTA Board Leadership Roles
As we begin planning for the upcoming school year (2026-2027), the Glasgow PTA is excited to open the nomination process for our PTA Board positions: President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary.

Whether you’ve been involved with the PTA for years or are looking to take a more active role, we encourage you to consider applying.
Each position plays an important role. No matter your background or experience level, your perspective and commitment can make a difference. If you’re interested (or know anyone that might be) or would like to learn more about any of these roles, please don’t hesitate to reach out - glasgowpta.va@gmail.com. We’d be happy to answer questions and help you find the best fit.
