ABOUT US
We’re a small but mighty group of parents and teachers working together to support every Lockhurst family, student, and educator. Our goal is to enrich learning while promoting the health, well-being, and connection of our entire school community.
As a nonprofit, every dollar donated directly supports valuable programs that benefit all students. We also organize fun, community-building events and collaborate with local schools and businesses to strengthen our neighborhood.
We’re committed to being an inclusive, welcoming resource that celebrates the diversity and talents of our community. Getting involved is easy and only takes a little time. If you’d like to have a vote in PTO decisions, you can become an official member for just $10—helping ensure your voice is part of shaping our school.
