Meet Your New Favorite People at 十大信誉网堵首页

The 十大信誉网堵首页 Parent Association (PPA) connects parents to the lifeblood of 十大信誉网堵首页. Through social networking, fundraising events, or sharing a boost of community cheer at the many student events throughout the year, the PPA is perhaps more fun than parents want their kids to know! 

“I am so thankful to be in my fifth year as a 十大信誉网堵首页 parent! Serving on the Parent Association has been a rewarding way to express our love and hope for the many students whose lives are shaped here.” - Alumnus and Junior Class Parent

Parent Connection & Service Opportunities

As a new 十大信誉网堵首页 parent, you should know that high school is the best time to lean into your student’s growth from childhood to young adult. The PPA provides fantastic opportunities for parents to get involved.

Grade-Level Dinners

Each fall parents share a meal on the 十大信誉网堵首页 campus and reconnect with friends, new and old. Hosted by the PPA and the Advancement Office, grade-level dinners are friend-raising events that are free for all parents. See the community calendar for details.

Homecoming and Spirit Week

The PPA is the driving force behind the largest 十大信誉网堵首页 celebration of the year. The Homecoming Festival—a family-centered celebration preceding the annual Homecoming basketball game—brings food and fun to the big day.

Spring Gala

Part of our mission to be a school for all neighborhoods means raising meaningful funds for financial aid. The Spring Gala celebrates all that is best at 十大信誉网堵首页 in a fun, festive fundraising environment. This annual event has raised over $2 million over the past decade for student aid and program development.

Athletics Booster Club

Tailgating is alive and well in Santa Monica! The Seawolf Booster Club not only celebrates all sports, from basketball to cross-country, but they also organize the annual Seawolf Veterans Luncheon—a treasured part of our Homecoming week festivities.

PACARTS Booster Club

The arts at 十大信誉网堵首页 rely upon our close connections to parents in the arts and entertainment industry. From building our inspiring theatrical sets to soliciting guest speakers for the SCREEN Student Film Festival, you don’t have to be an artist to make a huge difference in the PACARTS creative community.

Staff Appreciation

Throughout the year, the PPA does an incredible job of making all of the teachers feel valued and appreciated with monthly staff breakfasts. At the end of each semester, parents help create a beautiful luncheon made up of all of our teachers’ favorite foods.
