Get Involved at Powell

Powell Middle School’s PTO is ALWAYS looking for volunteers. Whether you have a little or a lot of extra time available, we can use your help! From PTO positions to volunteering at school or special events, we have many opportunities to get involved on-site and at home. Middle School PTO positions are not as demanding on your time or energy as elementary school PTO. We have fewer events and less time requirements so it is much easier and turnkey!
