Parent Teacher Organization
Our goal is to foster a spirit of support, fun and community between our students, parents and teachers. We do this by sponsoring fun school events, challenges and rewards, supporting our teachers by offering assistance with assorted classroom preparation tasks and overall attitude of fun and let’s get it done!
In order to reach our goals, we conduct PTO fundraising events and offer volunteer hours to the school. We work together to create an engaging and successful Parent Teacher Organization.

VIRGINIA’S EDUCATION IMPROVEMENT SCHOLARSHIP TAX CREDITS MAKE HELPING DESERVING CHILDREN EVEN MORE REWARDING.
Thanks to Virginia’s Education Improvement Scholarship Tax Credits (EISTC) program, donations to approved foundations will provide scholarships for students from low-income families at non-public schools. Individuals or business donors then receive a 65% tax credit.
The Catholic Diocese of Richmond’s McMahon Parater Scholarship Foundation is approved by the Virginia Department of Education to receive donation under this program. The Foundation distributes scholarships to qualifying students who attend one of 30 Catholic Schools in the Diocese.
EISTC Facts
