The mission of the Scotchtown Hills PTA is to do all that we can for the children in the school. We hope that by sponsoring a variety of events, our students will learn the importance and value of a good education and the self confidence that can be gained through a positive and cohesive partnership between home and school.
You can help us by joining the PTA and by bringing your children to our events.
We want all of the children to explore new horizons and learn all that they can, for our children will shape the future.
Be sure to read the 'Did You Know?' weekly newsletter to find out about the latest school news and the schedule of upcoming events.
