Taper is excited to announce and congratulate our newly elected PTO Board members for the 2026–2027 school year. The dedication and energy our PTO volunteers bring to Taper is truly immeasurable. By supporting our students, partnering with our staff, and help fund vital programs, they directly enrich the educational experience for every single child on our campus. Simply put, we could not achieve half of what we do at Taper without our incredible PTO. We extend our deepest gratitude to our new board members and look forward to an outstanding, supportive school year ahead. Please join us in welcoming and thanking our new leaders!
