Academy Family Association

Academy Family Association (AFA) Committees

Creating connection beyond the classroom—across our school community.

Parent volunteers serving on AFA Committees support Academy-wide events, programs, and initiatives that strengthen family engagement and enrich student life across the school.

The AFA Committee Model

AFA Committees focus on school-wide involvement, bringing families together through events, traditions, and programs that support the entire Academy. Committee members work collaboratively with school leadership and fellow volunteers to plan, organize, and support Academy initiatives throughout the year.
