PTSA Volunteer Information
The Travelers Rest High School PTSA is looking for volunteers for the 2022-2023 school year. The high school PTSA is not a huge commitment and does not require much time. We meet once a month and our only fundraiser is our school store that sells snacks and drinks at lunch time. We need board members and school store volunteers. Without volunteer leaders and volunteers, PTSA cannot function and the school will no longer benefit from all that our PTSA does to support the students, families, and staff. We need many volunteers in order to keep our PTSA running. If you are interested please contact Tanya Bishop 864-414-9353
