The Parent Guardian Organization (PGO) is actually you–everyone who has a student at ARHS is automatically a member of the PGO. A few parents/guardians take an active role in doing the work of the PGO, which consists mostly of: funding some student activities at the school (the yearly ice cream social, for instance); providing grants to students and staff (we’ll share more examples of grant-funded projects in a future newsletter); facilitating communication between the school and families (hosting coffees with the principal and other staff, writing this newsletter, meeting monthly with the principal); and raising funds to support the activities above.

Below are pictures of last year’s PGO “board members” (not an exact term, since no one elected us–we just volunteered). All of us are continuing in these roles for 2023-24, but since most of us will no longer have students at ARHS after that, we are looking for new parents/guardians to join us! If you are interested–especially if you have younger students so will be at ARHS past this year–please reach out to us at arhspgonews@gmail.com. The time commitment can be flexible, but it is something like 1 hour per week on average.
