Gatewood PTA
Board & Committees
We are a group of parents who share the goal of supporting our students, families, educators, and broader community through education, advocacy, events, fundraising, and fundshifting with other West Seattle schools through West Seattle Public School Equity Fund. The PTA Board is elected by PTA members for two-year terms. The current Board will serve through June 2026.
