committees
Prospect Valley PTA is organized into 12 collaborative committees that work together to support our students, staff, and school community. Our committee structure encourages teamwork, shared leadership, and volunteer support across every area of the PTA. Rather than relying on dozens of individual committee chairs, each committee oversees a collection of programs, events, and initiatives, making it easier for volunteers to contribute, learn, and grow into leadership roles over time.
