The OMHS PTSA is one of the strongest high school PTSAs in the region. In Spring 2008, the OMHS PTSA was awarded trophies by the Baltimore County PTA Council for Best Safety Program (Traffic Safety Week) and one for Best Substance Abuse Prevention Program (Safe Homes), as well as having certificates of recognition awarded to two of our members. In Spring 2005, OMHS was named a National PTA Parent Involvement School of Excellence, making us one of only two high schools in Maryland to have earned this certification. Since 2001, more than 500 schools nationwide have earned the Certification of Excellence for having the highest standards in parent involvement. This includes 26 schools in Maryland, but we were the only high school in Baltimore County. Read more about it here. |

What we do:

What's New: Next Monthly Meeting: The next meeting will be in September 2009 -- hope to see you then! Meetings are a great way to keep current with what's going on at school and connect with other parents and school staff about issues of concern. Read past minutes of recent meetings online. Elections: The officers for 2009-10 were elected on May 5, view list here. Good News:
Join the PTSA: Your financial support helps us fund services and equipment not provided by the county. For example, OMHS is one of two Baltimore County high schools with the Naviance software, which all our students applying to college and technical schools have come to rely on to help them with every aspect of the process. This web site, Project SAFE, and health and wellness speakers and activities, and building beautification all receive funding from the PTSA, and we provide significant support to the teachers' wish list for items that your students will be using. We also give out $600 worth of higher education scholarships each spring, but you must be a member for your student to be eligible. It's only $10 for an individual membership, $15 for a family, and additional donations are also welcome! Safe Homes - Addressing Alcohol Use and Risky Behaviors Among Teens: The youngest child of Barbara Korenblit, the Safe Homes Committee chair, graduates OMHS in May. If you are interested in taking over these activities for next year, contact safehomes@omhsptsa.org. |
