GREETINGS FROM THE UDHS PTO!
We hope everyone is enjoying the last few weeks of summer and getting excited for the start of a new school year!
As we get the year rolling, we wanted to take a moment to introduce ourselves. Some of our longtime PTO members have moved on as their children have graduated, and we’re excited to welcome some new faces to the PTO this year.
We’d also like to extend a special welcome to all of our incoming 9th-grade students and families! We know starting high school can feel like a big transition, and we hope the PTO can be a helpful resource as you get settled into UDHS.

YOUR 2026–27 PTO BOARD
- Nicole Lombardo Ganz — Co-President
- Holly Walsh — Co-President
- Frances Graham — Vice President
- Ginny Cairo Vitella — Treasurer
- Jenn Cheifetz — Secretary
Please feel free to reach out to the PTO with any questions throughout the year. And if you’d like to get involved, we love volunteers! Our PTO members are balancing full-time jobs, families, and everything else that comes with life, so extra hands are always appreciated. Whether you can help once or throughout the year, we’d love to have you!
