The PTO Mission

The Parent Teacher Organization is comprised of parents and teachers who are committed to recognizing the potential for excellence in every student. Through memberships, sponsorships, donations and fundraisers the PTO runs academic, character and social programs to benefit both students and staff members.
​Our programs include:
  • College Application Prep Programs
  • Spartans on a Roll (Honor Roll)
  • Spartans of Excellence
  • Teacher Grants
  • Scholarships
  • Student & Teacher Recognition​
  • Volunteer Service Awards
  • Campus Beautification
  • Advocacy​
None of this would be possible without the involvement of parent volunteers. We encourage you to become involved in the Sanderson PTO! Your commitment will lend a powerful voice to our students, empower our teachers, and support our Sanderson community. Click here to see our open committee positions. 

A Brief History

In 2016, the Academic Booster Club and the Parent Teacher Student Association joined forces to become the Sanderson High School Parent Teacher Organization. We believe that by combining our resources, we are better able to serve the Sanderson community.
