Welcome to the home of the South High PTSO. We hope you will find this site useful and informative. We will strive to keep information updated, as well as archive information for you to refer back to. If there is other information you would like to see posted, please let me know.
A parent organization is only as strong as the parents involved, and we are fortunate to have a very strong parent presence in the school. As a collective group we are able to speak out for the benefit of our children, and I am sure we will be heard when it is necessary.
If you have a child in our school, or are a faculty member, I invite you to join the South High PTSO. Membership is $6.00 per person, and all money stays right in our school and helps fund the projects we support.
Together we can make a difference.
