PTO Overview

Membership is open to anyone in our community who believes in supporting the mission of the PTO. Together we are a powerful voice for our school community. Our goal is to bring together the interests of the parents and the school to support student achievement. Through PTO initiatives and activities, parents work with the faculty to enhance the school environment and improve student achievement.
