Board Members & Program Coordinators

An executive board is essential for the SHS PTO to maintain our status as a 501c3 non-profit. The PTO oversees several popular programs at SHS, including freshman welcome shirts, the teacher appreciation luncheon, Balloons in June, and Project Graduation. We invite you to help preserve these traditions for the younger students at SHS. The exiting board members are all parents of seniors, making this the perfect time for new parents to observe the process while we are still accessible. For more information about board positions and the May elections, please contact us at shsptochair@gmail.com
