About Us

PaTSO is the "Parent and Teacher Support Organization", or the PTO, for J.T. Henley Middle School.

Our Mission = Support the success of all Henley students by fostering effective partnerships between the school, families and teachers.

Every parent (or legal guardian) of a Henley student is automatically a member of PaTSO, as well as every member of the Henley teaching and administrative staff.  We rely on our members, all of you, to join PaTSO activities and decision-making!
