Waltrip High School PTO

PTO stands for Parent-Teacher Organization.  The mission of the Waltrip PTO is to coordinate efforts to bring a closer relationship between home and school so parents, guardians and teachers can cooperate in the education of Waltrip students. Meet our Board.

The Waltrip PTO supports students and staff through campus improvements, academic and extracurricular grants, direct student support, and community-building programs. In 2024–2025, we funded major upgrades—including $35,000 for gym bleacher repairs, bilingual wayfinding signage, murals, shared campus equipment, and revitalized tennis courts—while strengthening campus life through staff appreciation, student essentials, spirit traditions, and community fundraisers.

During 2025–2026 school year, we’ve expanded our impact with monthly Ram Festivals to build school spirit, a $10,000 grant to address student food insecurity, and a new $10,000 scholarship program for graduating seniors.

We’re here to make Waltrip a stronger, more vibrant place for every student and staff member.

The PTO is an independent group whereas a PTA is a national organization.  We are a PTO and does not pay membership fees to any national organization.  All membership fees we collect go directly to the PTO and are used to support the school.

All parents, family, guardians, community members, teachers, staff, and students are welcomed and encouraged to join the Waltrip PTO.

Membership in the PTO helps Waltrip and its students.  Membership fees go directly to the PTO budget to support our school and therefore our students’ educational experience. 

You can join the PTO by choosing a membership level in our online store.

PTO meetings are typically held the 3rd Tuesday of each month, at 6pm. Meetings will be held in the Waltrip Library.  Our meetings are open to all parents, guardians, students or teachers. Check our schedule on the events page!
