Cougar Community
The mission of the Parents' Association (PA) is to promote and foster the well-being and continued advancement of Collegiate. We are composed of all parents and guardians of Collegiate students, faculty, administration, and members of the Board of Trustees dedicated to our children's future at Collegiate.

Our primary purpose is to bring families together to build and strengthen the community. We provide opportunities for families to meet, volunteer, and get involved while generating enthusiasm and excitement for all aspects of Collegiate. We organize events such as Cougar Holiday Express, Bingo Night, and Village Green Fair. Any funds raised are directed toward the continued advancement of our School. All parents are welcomed, needed, and encouraged to volunteer and be advocates for Collegiate's excellence.

How can I get involved?
Sign up to volunteer! The Parents' Association is a dynamic organization thanks to the participation of many parent volunteers. All parents are welcomed, needed, and encouraged to volunteer and be advocates for Collegiate's excellence. Learn more on the Collegiate PA website.

It is an honor to serve as this year’s Parents’ Association President. Over the years, volunteering with the Parents’ Association has helped me to meet other parents, connect meaningfully with teachers and staff members, and support the mission of our beloved school. There truly is something for everyone, and every bit of time and effort through volunteering makes a positive difference for Collegiate. I hope you’ll join me in supporting the Parents’ Association this year. 

Our volunteer opportunities include a wide range of on-campus experiences across all school divisions as well as options to participate in fundraising efforts with our special events and Village Green Fair. There are also many ways for those who have less time available in-person to volunteer. I welcome the opportunity to meet you to discuss the many ways to become involved.
