Parent Teacher Council :::
Parent Teacher Council is a volunteer organization that is not affiliated with any other
state or national organization such as PTA or PTO. PTC has been in existence for more than 60
years, and membership includes parents, teachers and staff. The purpose of the organization is to
promote a healthy working relationship and an open line of communication between home and school.
To achieve this goal, PTC enlists the support of everyone in the LT community. Some of the special
services provided by PTC include:
• Publishing the school calendar, which is distributed to all members, as
well as the parent/student phone directory (calendars and directories are available at each campus
bookstore)
• Providing volunteers for all types of school functions and all school
departments as needed
• Providing funding to support students, clubs, organizations and LT
community activities
• Sponsoring multiple scholarships for graduating seniors
• Sponsoring and hosting yearly staff appreciation luncheons at both
campuses for LTHS faculty and staff during National Teacher Appreciation Week
• Sponsoring a Bus Driver Safety breakfast in the fall
• Sponsoring the Safe Post Prom event that follows the Senior Prom in the
spring, one of the PTC’s most important projects
The PTC meets six times a year at 7 p.m. in room C229 at South Campus. Throughout the year
guest speakers and special topics of interest to parents are scheduled during the meetings.
Speakers will be posted on this page once they are scheduled. Parents are encouraged to drop in at
meetings and get involved, whether it’s attending a meeting or volunteering to serve on a committee
or as a chaperone for a school event.
