PARENT-TEACHER ORGANIZATION (PTO)

Welcome to Highpoint Academy's
PARENT-TEACHER ORGANIZATION (PTO)

The Parent-Teacher Organization of Highpoint Academy, Inc. (PTO) is a not-for-profit Organization that was founded in 1980 with the primary purpose of raising funds for our school. Our PTO offers opportunities for our volunteer PTO Member Parents to meet and collaborate with fellow parents and school administrators. With the help of our PTO, we raise over $40k a year to purchase items or provide educational programs for the benefit of both our Faculty and our Students.

Getting involved in Highpoint's PTO is a great way to get engaged. Volunteer Members typically meet once a month either in person or via Zoom. The Principal, Program Director, and other members of Highpoint's Administration attend these meetings and provide input and information of interest to our Highpoint Families. Please feel free to download the form below and join our wonderful PTO!

We proudly welcome our "EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBERS",
our "BOARD MEMBERS," and all our new PTO MEMBERS.

PTO's "NIGHT IN PARIS" Father-Daughter Dance that took place on Saturday, February 8, 2025, was a huge success! Daddy's girls were beautifully dressed, many in spectacular attire like "Emily in Paris." Many Dads dressed like elegant Frenchmen even wearing berets. Lots of dancing, delicious Crepes, so much fun and so much love! Thank you PTO Executive Board Members for organizing this event and working so hard to make it possible.
