Chief Sealth International PTSA
Building community and raising funds for programs and activities that support Chief Sealth students, teachers, and staff
The PTSA has a direct impact on Chief Sealth students, staff, and faculty. We host quarterly membership meetings, help fund school and student projects, and host a variety of community-building events during the school year, including coffee meet-ups, the school auction, a resource fair and more!

Anti-Racist Resolution
We commit to prolonged engagement in anti-racist work. We will continue to listen, learn, and inform ourselves about ways in which structural racism and implicit biases affect our school community, families, and students. We will center BIPOC voices at Sealth. We will routinely evaluate how our words, actions, fundraising, funding, and other ways we support our school stay true to these values and mission.
We will continue to explore the role of our PTSA in dismantling systemic racism and commit to taking concrete actions to do so. The PTSA will continue to review all policies and procedures, including stating this position on our enrollment form, prioritizing engaging with anti-racist vendors, and supporting our school administration and teachers as they implement school-wide anti-racism lessons, teacher trainings, or other events that engage students and community members in meaningful discussions and actions that address this mission.
Join the PTSA
The Chief Sealth PTSA wouldn’t function without the involvement of people from all over our community. We encourage parents, students, faculty and staff, as well as greater West Seattle community members and businesses, to help us make Chief Sealth a great place for all who learn, teach and work at our school.
There are multiple ways to get involved with the PTSA, including becoming a member, volunteering for an event, or taking a leadership role on the Executive Board. Please join us - all are encouraged and welcome to participate in PTSA!
