From the desk of the President…
The Brownsville Preparatory Institute Parent Teacher Organization (Brownsville Prep PTO) has been a very integral part of the Brownsville Prep experience. From enrolling our children into the school, to volunteerism, homework, local activities and events, and our annual Black History Program, we’re very engaged in the progress of the school and proud of our students!
While leading this prestigious organization during a pandemic is a challenge at times, it’s very fulfilling and rewarding to see our parents and friends still engaged in our efforts to enhance their educational and cultural experience.
Thank you for all that you do to encourage our students to give their best, and your efforts to send students to Brownsville!
