WELCOME

As parents, we want the very best for our kids. That is why we chose George Washington Academy. Our Parent Teacher Organization is designed to enhance and improve your child's educational experience. Through volunteer opportunities and financial support, we strive to develop a better, stronger relationship between home and school. 

Of course, we could not accomplish our goals without YOU! As a parent, you are automatically a member of the GWA PTO. As you actively participate in our organization, you will help your child in "building a strong foundation by believing we can, working our plan, then FEELING the POWER of SUCCESS!"

​Back to School Night is around the corner! We are excited for the opportunity to connect with each of you. Please stop by our booth and find out how you can help this year. Each GWA family is encouraged to give the school 30 volunteer hours. Let us help you find a way to get involved.
