Wellness Screening for 9^th and 11^th grade students

Mental health problems can develop in adolescence which is full of emotions for teens. Some of these emotions are actually mental illnesses. Depression is among the most common mental illnesses. Depression is treatable; however, it is a leading risk factor for suicide. To proactively address mental illness, Langley High School is providing a mental wellness screening and suicide prevention training as part of the SOS Signs of Suicide Prevention Program.

Donate to the PTSA  Donate to the PTSA!  The PTSA depends on donations from our families to provide the programming and school support for this year.  The PTSA budget relies on families donating $125 per student.  If you have yet to donate this year, please do so here.  Already this year, the PTSA has held social events for our students to help build community, like the Tailgate and Trivia Tournament.  PTSA has hosted events to show our wonderful Langley staff how much their work with our students is appreciated, to include the Welcome Back Breakfast and Fall Appreciation Lunch.  PTSA has supported the academic and artistic pursuits of our students including buying books for the English department, sponsoring the Robotics Club, and supporting the performing arts.  We have many more events planned this year, but we need the financial support of our families to make these programs and sponsorships possible!  Please donate!  The link can be found on our website, ptsalangley.org, or donate directly here
