What is the PTSA?

The PTSA are the Parents, Teachers, and Students Associated with McDaniel High School. We are a non-profit organization committed to the strengthening of McDaniel and the building of our community network. We host quarterly meetings (during the school year) to keep parents and students informed and devise plans for supporting our teachers, coaches, and staff to ensure that all McDaniel students can reach their full potential.
