East Meck Pride
We are proud of our East Meck family - our school earned a school performance grade of B this past year and was just voted one of the best high schools in Charlotte!
To help support our school, staff and students, the PTSO asks for donations that help provide extra resources that help make East Meck a special place. Where your money goes:
-
Teacher grant program to support their unmet needs
-
Staff appreciation events
-
Supplies, health room necessities, and room decor
-
Grounds upkeep and beautification
-
Various student run activities and club special events
Consider making a tax-deductible donation to the PTSO Direct Giving campaign. You can drop off a check at the front office or donate online: https://emptso.org/donate.
