Our History

What began as the Shoal Creek Educational Foundation in 2002 has evolved into the all new PTO in 2026. We continue as a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization and provided financial resources to enhance the learning opportunities for all of our students and to support the educational goals of Shoal Creek Elementary School. The volunteer members of the PTO represent the school community (with children of varying ages, business owners, etc.) and also include the Principal and staff members. The PTO raises funds and distributes the monies to support projects mutually identified by the school site and members.

The PTO supports our students’ education through purchases of educational materials and equipment. We work in conjunction with the Shoal Creek teachers and staff to fund programs and positions that our district can no longer afford.

Our Impact

Through the generous donations from Shoal Creek families and local businesses, the PTO has supported the following invaluable resources since its inception. Visit our Programs page for more information on what programs and tools Foundation resources support.
