We are proud to announce the formation of the Etowah High School Foundation, the first of its kind in the history of Cherokee County Schools. This is a truly unique opportunity for our parents and our community to work towards making Etowah High School the best it can be. We appreciate and look forward to your involvement and support. Increasing parental involvement at Etowah High School is one of the ways we feel we can improve our students’ educational experiences. Studies have shown a strong correlation between parental involvement and student success. As reported in the January 1999 issue of U.S. News and World Report, the 1998 Metropolitan Life Survey of the American Teacher found that 87 percent of students who earn A’s and B’s cited their parents’ involvement as vital to their success, while half of those earning C’s or worse said their parents had no interest in their schools. We are fortunate to have many parents who are already involved at Etowah High School. Through the efforts of PTSA and the new Etowah High School Foundation, we have the potential to provide many exciting programs. We want you involved in your child’s education. You can do this through supporting your child by joining our PTSA, becoming a member of our Foundation and/or volunteering your time and talents. There is no greater investment than an investment in your child’s future. -
