Volunteering in PTISD

Did you know that volunteers invested more than 20,000 hours in our schools during the 2005-06 school year?

That simple investment of TIME equated to a huge monetary donation. Our volunteers are one of the reasons the Pine Tree ISD is one of the best districts in the state of Texas!

The Pine Tree Independent School District encourages parents, guardians, and patrons of our district to become an active part of the schools in your neighborhood. We highly encourage you to volunteer your time.
