The Penn High School PTO is a dedicated group of parents, community members, and Penn-Harris-Madison advocates who work together with school administration to support our students, teachers, staff, clubs, organizations, and athletic programs.
Our mission is simple …. We want to support the students, teachers, and staff at Penn, lend a helping hand where needed, and fill the gaps that make a meaningful difference. Through grant cycles, funding requests, volunteer efforts, and special events, we help provide resources, opportunities, and experiences that benefit the entire Penn High School community.
Creating Memorable Experiences
One of our signature events is the annual Penn Snowball Semi-Formal, a student favorite that has become one of the most anticipated events of the school year! Each year, countless volunteer hours go into designing, coordinating, and transforming Penn’s arena and balcony into an unforgettable themed experience. With tickets known to sell out quickly, Snowball is truly a night students won’t want to miss!
Beyond Snowball, the PTO supports a variety of school initiatives, including the Penn Showcase, Teacher Appreciation Week and regular teacher and staff appreciation events, along with as many needs we can support through volunteerism or financially, as they are requested.
Get Involved. Stay Connected. Make a Difference
We host PTO meetings throughout the school year, with Penn administration in attendance to share updates, answer questions, and keep families connected to what’s happening at Penn and across the district.
Meetings alternate between in-person and virtual formats, making it easy to participate when your schedule allows. Whether you can join us regularly or just occasionally, you’re always welcome, and we’d love to see you there!
Our inbox is always open! Have a question, an idea, or want to be added to our PTO email list? Reach out to us at pennhspto (at) gmail.com.
Stay connected by following our socials or checking school updates through ParentSquare. The student newsletter, #KingsmenNation, is also posted in ParentSquare and will include PTO information.
