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.

BHS Conversazione 2008 David M Kennedy
Historian David M. Kennedy, Stanford University Professor and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Freedom from Fear: The American People in Depression and War, 1929-1945, speaks to BHS parents at the annual Conversazione.

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. Opportunities for parent participation include providing financial support, participating on committees, being a class parent, helping with News & Views, attending monthly class meetings, working at a PTO-ponsored event, donating food to a teacher/staff appreciation event, running for school council, joining the After the Prom Party team, tutoring a student, speaking at a parent meeting and/or sharing your expertise with students. To learn more, contact any board member (click here or select Executive Board from the menu on the left).

Farewell, My Subaru2009 summer reading program

Members of the Brookline High School Green Committee, Library, and Science Department have selected a book for the 2009 summer reading program for all students. The book we have chosen is Farewell, My Subaru by Doug Fine.


Get ready to ask yourself: Where would I go if I were to take a similar trek, what would I do, what would I try to give up, what could I not live without no matter how much energy it consumes?
