Voice of the CVHS PTO

President's Message

Dear Carnegie Rhino Families & Faculty

On behalf of the PTO, I would like to welcome everyone back to school. CVHS PTO has an updated website, CVHSPTO.org, a new logo, and thanks to winning an exciting new collection of grants through Microsoft’s Non-Profit Program. With access to a wide range of Microsoft Collaboration tools, we will be able to grow & professionalize the PTO more than ever before. 

So, what is the PTO, and who can be a Member? PTO stands for Parent-Teacher Organization, consisting of parents and teachers working together to support and enrich all students. We support school staff, help promote student self-esteem, and assist in efforts to solve school needs through volunteering and funding.  If you are a father, mother, guardian, and/or someone who teaches or works at CVHS, then we want you to become a member. 

It is FREE to JOIN PTO and only takes a minute. Join NOW.

This year, more than any other, we need to help make things run smoothly for our teachers, staff, and students. Here at CVHS, we strive for excellence, and what better way than to become involved today? We need you! Your Time, Talent, Treasure, or All Three! 

So, Join Now, Donate Now, Volunteer Now , Shop Now.

The PTO is a team effort in which we cannot succeed on our own. Please join us by signing up or contacting the Executive Board anytime at board@cvhspto.org.
