2024-2025 Board of Directors

The business and affairs of the Poe PTO shall be managed by its Executive Board. Special Committees carry out the activities and functions for various projects. The Special Committee Chairs report directly to the Executive Committee and are authorized to organize other volunteers to assist them in carrying out their project or committee's functions. We welcome you to join the Poe Community to support and enrich our students' experience. All PTO events that happen each year at Poe are 100% volunteer led. If you're interested in being a part of a committee or contacting a committee, contact the chair directly or email help@poepto.org.
