🌟 2026-27 PTSA MEMBERSHIPS & CLASS DUES | NOW OPEN! 🌟

Welcome, Rising Pegasi! New and returning families of students attending BTWHSPVA for the 2026–27 school year can now purchase PTSA memberships and pay class dues for the upcoming year.

Class dues* are collected annually and contribute to each grade’s Senior Fund, which supports senior‑year activities, celebrations, and traditions once students reach 12th grade.

Paying dues each year helps build a strong foundation for an unforgettable senior experience.

Early PTSA membership and class‑dues payment ensure a smooth start to the school year and allow our PTSA to begin planning with the resources needed to support our newest Pegasus families.

We’re excited to welcome all Rising Pegasi into the BTWHSPVA community and look forward to an amazing year ahead.

*Includes student membership! Do NOT purchase a student membership in addition to paying class dues.
