About Us
The Kilgour Parent and Teacher Association is a volunteer group of parents and teachers who serve as a strong support network for Kilgour Elementary School providing fundraising, community building, and the necessary tools to strengthen the educational/enrichment environment for our students. Since 1912, we have strived to collaborate with parents, teachers, and other interested members of our community, to provide the unique experiences and opportunities that complement Kilgour School’s quality education and make it an “Excellent Neighborhood School”. Please join us in our efforts for the 2015-2016 school year!
