About Citywide PTO

Mission & Purpose​

 

Our mission is to advocate for the achievement and delivery of high-quality equitable education for every student in Quincy Public Schools (QPS).​ Our purpose is to represent the collective voice of parents/guardians across the city, and to bring that parent/guardian perspective to QPS administration and members of the Quincy School Committee.
