Parent & Family Engagement

Lorem Ipsum Dolor

The St. Stephen’s Parents’ Association supports the entire Spartan community year-round in immeasurable ways. PA volunteers are always hard at work behind-the-scenes raising critical funds for the Annual Fund, serving as grade-level class representatives, communicating with parents and hosting campus events. PA leaders also serve on the board of trustees, the booster clubs, the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee, and much more.

In addition to fundraising and events, parent volunteers are committed to promoting the general welfare of students, their families and faculty and staff. From coordinating grade level snack stations during holidays and therapy bunny rabbits during exam week to serving as dorm host families, parent volunteers tirelessly work to enrich the academic, spiritual, social, extracurricular, residential and family experiences at St. Stephen’s.

PA members are also focused on strengthening internal and external communication by improving relationships with other parents, school administration, faculty and staff so that, together, they may cooperatively develop each student in mind, body and spirit.
