Get Involved

We need people.

Three ways in, and none of them requires the others. Lead a committee, give an hour, or just join. Most families do one. All of it helps.

Committee chairs needed for 2026–27

The easiest way to make a difference is to chair a committee. A chair owns one area. You are not running the whole PTSO, and you will not be doing it alone. Committee chairs are voting members of the Executive Board, and a committee can be led by two co-chairs sharing one vote.

Become a member

Membership runs July 1 through June 30 and is open to any parent or guardian of an MHS student, any teacher or staff member, and any enrolled student. Every membership in good standing carries one vote. Ten dollars, two minutes.

Individual

$10

Any parent or guardian of an MHS student. One vote.

Faculty & Staff

$10

Any teacher or staff member at Murphy. One vote.

Student

$5

Any enrolled MHS student. Each student membership carries its own vote.

Dues are deliberately low. We would rather have every Murphy family at the table than a bigger balance. No student is turned away for inability to pay, and hardship waivers are available from any officer. Just ask.

Run a business?

Sponsorship is a fourth way in, and it reaches a different audience than dues. See sponsorship options →
