Parent Association

Formed in 1987, the Parent Association is an organization of parents of current Hargrave Cadets. Our members represent both boarding and day students from the upper school and CIS.

The Parent Association has three purposes:

  1. Act as a liaison between the parents and the Administration by sharing information and concerns. Parent Association members are readily available to answer questions from parents about school activities, functions, and Cadet Life. As a group, we work with the administration to provide feedback and suggestions in the best interests of our Cadets.
  2. Provide outreach support as a parent component to Hargrave through Admissions, the Annual Fund and Development on an as-needed basis. This involves contact with prospective and current families.
  3. Support Hargrave, the parents and the Cadets through our activities and events. Our biggest fund raising goal is the sponsorship of the Annual Faculty/Staff Appreciation Event to express our deep appreciation to the faculty and staff at Hargrave.

The contribution of every parent, no matter how small, is appreciated in these efforts. Together we can make a positive difference on campus for the benefit of the entire Academy.

If you are interested in volunteering your time or talent, please contact the Parent Association at [email protected].
