The Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) is a grassroots organization made up of parents, teachers, and students who are "All-In" to support arts in education. The Booker T. PTSA understands the importance the arts brings to our cities, communities, and the world beyond. Artistically focused students are creative, disciplined, collaborative thinkers and doers who can provide real and lasting impact whether they eventually study or practice their art full time. 100% of the funds raised through North Texas Giving Day is ear-marked to support Booker T. PTSA Programming, including the Summer Scholarship programs. Previously, the PTSA was able to support 63 scholar-artists in attending summer artistic and academic enrichment programs. We want to double that impact! In addition to summer scholarships, the Booker T. Washington HSPVA PTSA provides a wide variety of support and programs to students, faculty, families and the Booker T. community. We host programs for parents, provide support to faculty, and fund platforms like Remind and Turn It In. The Booker T. Washington HSPVA PTSA also produces a series of four All-School Productions, deliberately connecting our scholar artists with professional mentors and allowing students to move one step closer to fully realizing their creative visions. We are also proud to support the Pegasus Pantry and Booker T Angels programs, which have a significant impact on our Booker T and surrounding community.
Our mission is to make every student's potential a reality by engaging and empowering the Booker T. administration, faculty, families and communities to advocate for and support all children.
100% of the donations to Booker T. Washington HSPVA PTSA during North Texas Giving Day will go directly to our PTSA programming efforts, including the Summer Scholarship Program. Each year, the PTSA awards summer scholarships of up to $500 to help cover tuition fees for students attending an academic, performing, or visual arts summer enrichment program. In past summers, the PTSA awarded fifty-eight students who traveled nationwide and overseas to continue their enrichment studies. Thank you in advance for your generous donation and for supporting arts in education.
The Booker T. Washington HSPVA PTSA is committed to supporting the entire student body, faculty and administration of the Booker T. Washington HSPVA. We recognize students come to Booker T. from disparate and diverse backgrounds and opportunities. We are committed to fully supporting all of the Booker T. students to "level the playing field" to allow each student the opportunity to recognize his/her/their maximum potential.
