Everyone is welcome at the Bard Manhattan Parent Teacher Association, and all parents, guardians, and educators of current students are automatically members.
Our work fosters a vibrant and supportive community to enhance the unique early college experience, and to enable families to share their ideas, communicate with each other, and help to shape our school.
The PTA raises funds for college seminar course books, arts programs, sports, clubs, trips, computers and smartboards, and more!
We keep you informed about our fundraising goals in emails, newsletters, and at the PTA meetings. There’s a lot to do this year, and we need all hands on deck! Your time is just as valuable as a financial contribution. Join us!

Bylaws
The Chancellor's Regulations require that we audit our Bylaws this year. If you only have the bandwidth for a single project, this is the one.
October Campaign
Extracurriculars are the first tier of mental health support for our hardworking kids.
This year, the PTA pledged $12,000 for sports and another $4000 for student activities. This money pays for tennis equipment, basketball gym access, track tournament entry fees, the annual Sports Award dinner, Key Club charter fees, The Bardvark's site hosting, and so much more.
Clubs and sports are core to the health and wellness of BHSEC students. Please contribute whatever you can to keep these programs funded.
This campaign charges no fees; 100% of proceeds will directly benefit our school!

Glad to Meet You!
Help us to better serve this community by sharing some details about your family. If we know where you live, we can schedule events in accessible places or help find a commuting buddy for your kid. When you share your skills or what you do for work, we might translate that into a fantastic fundraiser! It’s all hands on deck this year to meet our funding goals for the benefit of our school. See our budget for more information.
We’re all for privacy; anything you tell us goes in the vault.
