The PTO hosts several activities and events to benefit our students. We encourage to fill out the volunteer form and return it to the school office. Get involved!

The purpose of our PTO is to promote goodwill, communication and cooperation between parents/guardians, teachers, administration and parishes involved. We aim to provide support to our schools through socials, fundraisers and specific assistance activities. We are a non-commercial, non-partisan organization, seeking to increase awareness of issues affecting Catholic education. We do not charge dues, but rather encourage the active participation of all our members: parents/guardians, principals, teachers and staff, as well as pastors of OCS parishes.

Goals of the PTO:

To be non-commercial and non-partisan
Not seek to direct the administration activities of the school or to control its policies
To promote communication among parents/guardians, teachers, and administration
To provide parents/guardians and teachers with information to aid in all aspects of students' education, growth, and development
To promote good will and cooperation between and among parents/guardians, teachers, administration, and the parishes involved
To encourage awareness of political issues affecting Catholic education
