Penn Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)

(PTO Information Flyer Download)

PTO is a Parent Teacher Organization within Penn High School that serves as a place where questions, comments, concerns, feedback and other information can be obtained. Our goals are to provide a means of ongoing and organized communication between parents and staff, to enrich students’ educational experience by providing materials, programs and activities that would not otherwise be available and to support our students, teachers, and staff by promoting a strong parent volunteer program.  EVERY Penn student benefits from the Penn PTO, whether they attend the Winter Dance, join the National Honor Society, compete in academic competitions, or attend a class reunion, so please consider getting involved so we can continue to provide our students with an outstanding education. All Penn parents and staff members are encouraged to become involved in the Penn PTO.

 

Volunteers

Parent volunteers are needed! Please volunteer a few hours of your time this year to enable PTO to continue to provide valuable opportunities and funds to help ALL Penn students. Complete the Volunteer Application and turn it in to the Main Office at Penn or email PennPTO@phm.k12.in.us.

Parents and Students: Please check  PTO Needs Your Help for immediate PTO volunteer needs.
