What We Do
We listen. Suggestions for the school or creating a better student experience comes from your input. We primarily focus on fundraising initiatives to secure new sports equipment, ensuring our students have access to the best resources for their physical education. Additionally, we work closely with teachers to help fund a wide range of extracurricular activities that enrich the educational experience of our students. Beyond that, our PAC also provides financial support for travel expenses, enabling students to participate in off-campus educational opportunities. We are proud to coordinate volunteers for numerous school activities, fostering a sense of community and cooperation, all aimed at enhancing the overall school experience.
​
Financials are important but we discuss other matters too. Ever had a good idea to give a better student or parent experience? Or wondered why the school does things a certain way? Contact us and let us know your thoughts.
