The Parents’ Association is an organization similar to the public school’s PTA.  We focus on two primary agendas.  First, we act to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas between the school and the families.  All meetings are held on special weekends when families are typically on campus.  These meetings are an important way to promote communication.

The second part of the Parents’ Association agenda deals directly with improving the welfare of the cadet corps through fundraisers.  A “Wish List” is compiled every year to communicate the needs and wishes of faculty, students, and staff to improve the quality of all aspects of campus life.  Please click on the link to the Wish List to see the current list.  If you have access to items on the Wish List that you would like to donate, please contact Jean Miller at jmiller@thehoweschool.org.

Your dues help support the mailings, projects, special events, and gifts sponsored by the Association.  Our fund raising efforts include souvenir/memorabilia sales, bake sales, raffles, live and silent auctions, soup labels, used ink cartridge and cell phone donations, to name a few.  If you have ideas for additional fundraisers, please share them with any member of the Executive Board.

The Parents’ Association sponsors several year-end awards and medals to recognize outstanding cadets.  On an ongoing basis, we provide funding to renovate the barracks and student center.  We also paid for the installation of satellite service in each company and many needed classroom upgrades.

All members are eligible to serve on the Parents’ Association Executive Board.  Please indicate your interest in serving by contacting a current member of the Executive Board.
