No prior experience needed! Registration CLOSES January 3 (before we're back at school). Learn more on our Tournament of Champions Page and register today!

What a year it's been!

Visit our Flickr albums to see just a FEW of the programs/events that the PTO has put on the first 1/2 of the school year!

We love sharing just how much the PTO provides for our students - programs many families assume are just "part of school." We encourage all of our Husky families to learn more about what the PTO provides - and get involved, either as a member, volunteer, or just be in-the-know! 


It's NEVER too late to join the PTO. Consider joining the PTO with a year-end gift (the PTO is a 501c3... donations are tax-deductible!) - and your Husky Buddy will be waiting for you at school in January!
