What is the Harper PTO?
To promote the welfare of children in the home, school and community.
To bring into a closer relationship, the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of our children.
To develop between educators and the general public, such united efforts as will secure for all children, the highest advantages in academic, physical and social education.
Goals:
1. To provide funds to benefit all students throughout their HISD education.
2. To limit the amount of fund raising events so as to not create a burden on the parents, teachers, and supporters--as well as the students of our District.
3. To provide cost effective fund raising events that allow teachers to concentrate their efforts in the classroom.
4. To distribute funds for educational purposes.
