The current PHS PTA Board had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Savage on Thursday, January 23rd. Discussed was the role of the PHS PTA to serve the school, principal, teachers and families to help ensure that our children come first. The goal is to be completely transparent with all information regarding the opening of Chatham Grove and both Dr. Savage and the PTA will get information out as soon as it becomes available.

Chatham County Board of Education approved attendance zone Scenario D for Chatham Grove Elementary. This decision impacts Perry Harrison Elementary, Pittsboro Elementary, and North Chatham. There are additional decisions needing to be made (e.g., Grandfather information) before the full plan is rolled out from the district. The goal is to have this done in September 2019. Chatham Grove is projected to open in August of 2020.

One of the PTA's goals for the school year is supporting our families through the transition of the opening of Chatham Grove. While we wait for enrollment areas to be finalized and a Chatham Grove principal to be hired, we are working on ideas so we can hit the ground running as soon as any information becomes available.

If you are interested in helping us support both the PHS and the Chatham Grove communities during this transition, please contact Lara at chathamgroveinfo@phspta.org.
