About Us

The Elmira Heights Parent Faculty Organization (PFO) is an all volunteer charitable nonprofit organization that brings families, teachers, and community members together to make our three schools even better.

We focus on enriching students’ experiences, supporting teachers in the classroom, and creating fun, memorable events that bring everyone together. From helping fund classroom supplies to organizing family nights, our goal is to make school a place where students and teachers can thrive.

We also love to show appreciation for the amazing staff who dedicate themselves to our kids every day. Through faculty appreciation days, classroom contributions, and extracurricular support, we work to make a real impact on our schools. Every donation, volunteer hour, and school event helps strengthen our community and enriches the educational experience for every student.
