About the PTO

We are a Parent Teacher Organization that is able to provide academic, cultural, recreational and technological enrichment to the students, teachers and staff here at Cedar Hill -- all because of your help! We are excited to begin the 2024-2025 school year and look forward to offering some of our favorite programs and traditions to CHS students and staff this year.

All that we accomplish throughout the year is only made possible by your support. Your willingness to volunteer valuable time to our many programs is what makes them happen.

The Cedar Hill PTO is thankful for your assistance and confidence. We value your comments and suggestions and will continue to work hard to earn your support.
