The Brookline High School Parent Teacher Organization is committed to supporting important communications between school and home. It sponsors a variety of events each year designed to show support of the school and to keep parents informed about how to help their children make the most of the BHS experience.

     PTO-sponsored home/school communications include the newsletter News & Views, the BHS student telephone directory, email communications, and monthly parent meetings. The PTO also funds a number of enrichment initiatives every year, such as Conversazione (an evening of give and take with a local or national notable), a college essay workshop for BHS seniors, a barbecue for entering freshmen, and educational grants/special projects proposed by teachers and staff.
