Your Attention Please - BPA Needs You!
Ballard Performing Arts Board Open Positions
Serving Over 450 Students in 16 Performing Groups
Half of the BPA Board is graduating along with their Seniors this June!
Without the support and participation of our parents / guardians, the Performing Arts at Ballard High School would not be the excellent program it is today. Keep in mind that our four directors receive no funding from Seattle Public School apart from their salaries. Please help keep our program vibrant and growing by lending a helping hand.The Ballard Performing Arts Booster Club exists to support our four directors in many ways including: informing parents and guardians of all Performing Arts activities, requirements, and events, promoting community attendance to events, recruiting volunteer helpers, fundraising options and maintaining a presence in social media.
Looking forward to the 2017-18 school year, we currently have the following lead positions open. Please email any questions about the open positions to the person currently in the position. You'll receive detailed information about the role and also an offer to ease your transition into it.
It takes a village to support a program of this size that continues growing every year! In addition to this list, there are opportunities all year to chaperone field trips, bake for bake sales, and come to concerts and shows to support our students. Thank you in advance for your support!
