About the LVHS PTO
The Loudoun Valley High School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), a 501(3)c organization, is made up of parent volunteers and faculty with purpose of enriching the educational experience of our students by supporting school academic, athletic, fine arts, recreation, social, and other activities at the school and by fostering good relationships between school, parents, teachers, and community.
Our board of directors is made up of parent volunteers and we are always looking for parents to participate in the PTO through our fundraisers and in support of our activities.
Why participate in the PTO?
It benefits your children! Research shows that participating in your child’s school and showing engagement helps them perform better at school.
The school benefits! The PTO provides support for teachers, administrators, student groups, and special projects, which, in turn, creates a more positive, caring, and learning-forward environment in the school.
Make connections! Stay connected with what is going on at school and get to know the teachers, administrators, and other parents.
Be a role model! By getting involved, you show your student(s) the importance you place on education. If you value it, they will too!
How can you support the LVHS PTO?
Donate! Make a meaningful and helpful donation to the PTO to allow the organization to continue funding important projects and events for our students, student groups, teachers, and administrators!
Participate! Volunteering with the PTO doesn’t necessarily mean a heavy commitment. Join the meetings, help with events, participate in spirit nights, provide your ideas or special talents, or even join the Board. The PTO greatly benefits from increased parent engagement. Email LVHS PTO if you are interested.

Fundraiser
Please help the Loudoun Valley High School Support our Students and Teachers by participating in our Fundraisers!
We know that LVHS parents are managing busy schedules, so we take an easy approach to fundraising – no selling items, no complicated schedules – just a simple ask for funding help. The money raised by the PTO funds faculty grants, student enrichment, and special projects. The PTO Board works directly with the administration, the teachers, and the student groups to identify items and priorities for funding.
Please access our fundraising campaign on our new platform, PT Board!
The LVHS PTO also sponsors activities and spirit nights throughout the year to raise funds for our programs and activities. Find out more about those through the LVHS newsletter, our PTBoard page, and our Facebook group.
The LVHS PTO looks forward to working alongside Valley’s dedicated staff to fund programs that enhance your students’ education and experience. Our suggested donation is $40 per student but any amount is appreciated!
Examples of things LVHS PTO has funded to enrich the high school experience for students include:
Literacy and reading achievement programs
Equipment for STEM enrichment activities
Sponsorships for awareness events organized by students and student groups
Support for student groups to participate in regional, state, and national activities
