Our PTO

The Tomball Junior High Parent Teacher Organization is the parent support group for junior high students. We exist to support TJHS staff, recognize and reward student achievements, and help coordinate volunteers for the school. 

 

We understand that PTO is delivered by busy parent volunteers. Having more roles with smaller scopes may make it easier for people to say yes to helping. In addition, we are targeting to have more than one parent in some chair roles. That will enable a "divide and conquer" approach and hopefully lighten the load a bit.

 

If you have always wanted to get involved but hesitated to commit, we hope you will consider trying it out this year. You can find the full list of roles and descriptions below.
