You can make a difference!
The Parent Club strives to make a positive impact on the classroom environment and student programs. All of this is achieved through the fundraising and volunteer efforts of Leland parents.
Your student benefits!
Funds raised through Parent Club Membership and the Blue & Gold Auction are used for:
- Career Day opportunities - a group of dedicated speakers spends a day at Leland discussing specific careers with our students.
- Every 15 Minutes Program - an event designed to dramatically instill teenagers with the potentially dangerous consequences of drinking alcohol.
- Scholarships - awarded to nominated seniors during the senior awards event.
- Teacher appreciation events - Our thank-you to Leland's hardworking, dedicated team! (Happy teachers = happy students!)
- Grad Night - A safe and sober graduation event.
- Senior Brunch - brunch for seniors on the morning of graduation rehearsal.
- On-site student counseling services
- Teacher Wish Lists - requests for items that are not provided by the district. This brings new or updated technology to the campus.
You can help!
- Volunteer for one or many events, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved!
- Become a member and support the Parent Club financially
A Message from the President
Parents, you can make a difference! The Leland High School Parent Club allows you to express your point of view and promote real action. Come learn what is going on around campus , what the administration's priorities are and how Leland is seeking to offer the best possible educational experience for your student.
The Parent Club offers scholarships, helps teachers with special funding requests, meets with and advocates issues with the staff, and generally represents Leland parents' interests regarding a multitude of school topics. The Club funds the Leland Blue and Gold Auction and invests its share of auction profits into the programs sponsored by Parent Club members.
Many of your friends and neighbors have joined already. Please take this opportunity to get involved. The Parent Club meets on the second Thursday of the month (unless otherwise posted), while school is in session. Membership donations, in the amount of $50, $100, $150, or other, can be sent to the Leland Parent Club, Leland High School, 6677 Camden Ave., San Jose, CA, 95120. You can download the Membership Form from the menu on the left.
