Your SHMS PTO is run entirely by parent volunteers. Every event, program, and fundraiser starts here.
A short look at why parents volunteer and how to get involved.
Why parent volunteers serve on the board and how to get involved.
President
Last year I was Treasurer and it was very fulfilling to help the school while improving the student experience for our events and programs. I am passionate about helping everyone get to the next level in life. This year I want to focus on making sure every parent knows about the PTO events and programs. I want the member portal to truly be helpful to parents when managing everything PTO offers their family.
Secretary
I joined the PTO because I wanted to give back to our school community and help create a positive experience for our students, teachers, and families. I'm passionate about supporting the school through strong communication, organization, and teamwork. As Secretary, I hope to keep our meetings and communications organized while supporting the board in making this a successful and engaging year. I'm looking forward to working with everyone to help plan meaningful events and strengthen the connection between families and the school.
