HOME AND SCHOOL ASSOCIATION

The objective of the St. Joan of Arc Home and School Association is to promote the advancement of Catholic education and the welfare of all the children in the school, to keep parents informed and involved with school activities, and provide financial aid to the school.

Every St. Joan of Arc parent, guardian, faculty member, and staff are welcomed members of SJA Home & School Association. By filling out a membership form, you help to create the kind of school community that you want your child to be a part of. These forms are available at all HSA meetings. To have a successful association, we need involved members to be a part of committees that make the activities of the HSA a reality.  Please volunteer to assist with a project that interests you.
