The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is the official organization that promotes partnership between the home and the school. The primary role of the PTO is to build community. Monies raised through dues and other means are used to further that primary mission or to purchase equipment and materials for parent and student programs sponsored by the PTO.
Our funding is derived from 3 main sources: annual PTO dues ($100, or $75 if purchased jointly with Athletics membership), painless fundraising programs (including Harris Teeter and Publix), sales of used uniforms, used books, and the annual Christmas ornament. In addition, the PTO collects money twice a year as part of our staff giving programs (Christmas and the end of the year).
Our programs and activities include the following:
Student Life - including freshman welcome gifts & t-shirts, transfer welcome gifts, senior events & gifts, seasonal decorations, fall social, spring barbecue, Catholic Schools Week and Bridge Week.
Faculty Appreciation - including start-up funds for teacher classrooms, monthly prayer lunches, teacher snacks, and a spring teacher social event. The PTO also organizes a gift collection for teachers and staff twice yearly - Christmas and the End-of-School-Year.
