The PAC is a group of dedicated parents who work together to support the school, enhance student experience and build community. Through the years we’ve organized events, fundraisers and created volunteer opportunities for the students.

Getting involved is a great way to meet other families, stay informed about what’s happening at school and contribute your voice in the initiatives that are important to you and your child.
