Our Mission: The St. Benedict Preparatory School Parents’ Network supports parents of high school-age children. We encourage participation in school events whether they are student-centered or adult-oriented. As advocates for the school, we partner with other stakeholders to raise the level of parent and community engagement, student and family programming, and support of the faculty and staff by showing our appreciation for their work. We foster a belief of One Goal, One School and endeavor to make the transition from elementary to high school a seamless one.

 

Studies show that students of involved parents do better in school. Students: increased achievement, self-esteem and motivation to learn. They also gain insight into real world expectations. Parents:  involvement in their children’s lives, enjoyable way to meet & network with other parents, provide critical support to the school’s programs and events. St. Benedict Prep: ability to address issues pro-actively, efficient & effective operation & communication, improved student achievement.
