Education is a cooperative effort between schools and parents.

PTA Clothing Center

The Knox County Council PTA operates a Clothing Center, distributing clothing to any Knox County School System pupil whose parents are found to be financially unable to provide adequate clothing to enable the child to stay in school.

Parents may request assistance through the school’s principal. The student’s teacher may also recommend him or her to the principal for clothing. The school will provide the family with a Clothing Center card. The family can present this card at the Clothing Center, 1000 N. Central Avenue to receive clothing.

The policy is to provide parents reconditioned and new clothing for each child. The average is approximately eighteen garments per child. Clothing may be provided twice each year, except under unusual circumstances.
