PTO Information
At McKinley Senior High School, we want our parents to be partners in their student's education. For this reason, we will be starting a Parent/Teacher Organization this school year. Parents will be able to sign up to be a part of the PTO at Discovery Days. Look for the PTO table to sign up if you are interested in being a part of this organization.
