The bulk of Decatur High School PTSA fundraising efforts go to fund grant requests that we received each year from teachers, staff, and student groups.  In the 2022-2023 school year, WE FUNDED OVER $13,000 IN GRANTS.

Your PTSA donations are used to fund activities and materials that make DHS an engaging, inclusive, inspiring learning community.  In addition, the PTSA often coordinates with the Decatur Education Foundation and DHS parent-support organizations so that we all can extend the amount and impact of our respective funding.
