Parent Advisory Board

The purpose of Parent Advisory Board (PAB) is to discuss various programs, events, topics, and provide input to the principal.  In many ways, the PAB serves as a non-policy making “sounding board” for the principal offering a parent’s perspective on various issues and topics.  Each PAB member is asked to bring comments, concerns and ideas from his or her parish to the meeting and then to bring information back to the representative groups or individuals. PAB will also provide planning and organizational help for many of the activities that are held for our students and staff.

Responsibilities:

• Serves as a sounding board and provide feedback to the principal
