Laurie Rollins served the Davis High School PTA as 1st Vice President - Ways and Means in 2004-05, Executive Vice President and Acting President in 2005-06, and President in 2006-07. 
 
Laurie has been active as a parent volunteer in the Davis school system for thirteen years.  She was a classroom volunteer at Pioneer Elementary, and served as School Site Council Chair at both Valley Oak Elementary and Holmes Junior High.  She participates at the district level on the GATE Advisory Committee and the Superintendent’s Parent Advisory Committee, as well as representing parents on numerous DHS committees.  This year she assisted in the founding of the DJUSD PT Council, a forum for presidents of school PTAs and PTOs to exchange information.  She follows the work of the Board of Education and advocates for our constituency as needed, and is a mentor to those new to the system.
 
Laurie's style is forthright and direct.  She pulls no punches and is tireless in her commitment to give voice to the concerns of DHS families, and to support school administrators, staff, and teachers.
 
Laurie challenges our school system to do a better job of educating our children, and most importantly, steps up first to help in doing so.  Her efforts as a member of the PTA Board have contributed to the academic excellence of Davis High School.  Laurie Rollins is, without question, the outstanding parent volunteer of the 2006-07 school year, and we take great pleasure in nominating her for this award.
