Northwood Junior High PTO Committees

Please take a look at the PTO Committees below.  We have three new committees for 2019-2020 (so far): the Floral committee and the Pie committee (both Thanksgiving and Holiday pie sales). If you're interested in volunteering, please contact the Committee Chair(s) or any Executive Board member.  Thank you!
