East Lansing High School Parent Council


Looking for Parent Council Leadership for 2013-2014!

The ELHS parent council invites any and all high school parents and guardians to join the leadership team for this coming year.  Due to the "retirement" of some long-standing board members, there is definitely a need for some fresh new faces to step forward.  

As of May 23rd, we are still in need of folks to fill the following Board positions: Treasurer and VP of Teacher Grants, and Committee Chair positions:  Volunteer Coordinator and Fall Grounds Clean Up.  If interested please submit your name to Kimbirly Bodfish at rindfle2@gmail.com.  To see a description of these Board and committee chair positions, click here.  To see the timeline and specific duties for the Volunteer Coordinator position click here.
