Dear McLean High School Families,

We extend a warm welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! Whether you're new to the McLean HS community or returning for another year, we are looking forward to a great year!

The McLean PTSA works closely with the school administration and staff to support the curriculum enrichment and provide programs that positively impact the educational and social-emotional growth of MHS students. We invite you to join hands with us in creating an exceptional environment at McLean High School, where our children can flourish and excel.

Becoming a member of the PTSA as parent here , and/or student here, and contributing through a tax-deductible donation have a direct impact on enhancing academics and supporting programs that foster student well-being. These initiatives range from enriching the classroom atmosphere to bolstering extracurricular pursuits and nurturing social-emotional development.

Our weekly newsletter is your gateway to staying informed about MHS events, valuable resources for parents, and the student activities. To stay connected and updated, explore our Website and subscribe to the McLean eNews.

Warm regards,

McLean PTSA Team
