Dear LaGuardia Families:

On behalf of the LaGuardia High School Parents Association, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all students and families and best wishes for a successful 2024-2025 school year. LaGuardia is a jewel of the NYC public school system and the most famous arts high school in the country. I am constantly in awe of our talented student body.

In order to partner with the school to provide nationally renowned conservatory arts training and academically rigorous classes, we need your assistance. Keeping up a level of excellence requires far more money than the NYC Department of Education gives to our school. Your contributions go toward school productions, academics, studio specific needs, athletics, clubs, college resources, Jupiter, graduation, school supplies, computer equipment, teacher appreciation events, lab equipment and much more. Our suggested donation amount is $750 ($500 to the general fund and $250 to one’s studio). However, gifts of any amount are welcomed and deeply appreciated. Our goal is 100% participation.

Help us reach our $300,000 goal!

Matching Gift Program: Many companies offer a matching gift program. You can possibly double or triple your gift. Contact your human resources department for more information.

I am so proud to be a part of a parent body that goes above and beyond for our school community. Your generosity means so much and truly makes a difference for all of our students. Thank you in advance and I look forward to meeting you throughout the year.

Tracy Ballas
2024-2025 President
