Testimonials

I cannot overstate the impact that HMBHS PTO has on our students, staff, teachers, administrators, and the community at large. As our primary donor it has consistently worked toward funding and supporting all teachers and departments with the aspiration that each year students will have learning experiences that texture the core programs and support from CUSD. By funding departmental grants and organizing a massive supplies drive, teachers and students get the materials that go directly into the classrooms to be used now. Its allocation of  funding toward our tutoring and wellness programs provides both academic and social-emotional support. Student spaces such as Cougar Park and the currently-being-constructed Cougar Grove enhance student time on campus and give them a comfortable place to socialize with an ocean view. Beyond these wonderful contributions they support shared experiences like staff appreciation events and graduation. We are so very grateful for the consistent and substantial support HMBHS PTO offers our Cougar Community.

Principal

For many years the Half Moon Bay High School PTO has supported the Art department with vital financial support. The funding of 15 dollars per student this year has provided top quality art materials, a field trip bus and an upcoming week of a visiting Artist for the AP Studio Art class. Funding was also used to support the framing and matting of Art works chosen for the yearly juried show. The Art department has an enrollment of nearly 500 students and they all benefit from the materials, experiences and creation that is made possible through the generous support of the PTO.

The PTO has funded math-related extracurricular activities and brought in guest speakers. They have sponsored programs that provided additional support to students who may be struggling with math, including tutorial programs. The PTO has helped to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed in math.
