Giving

Community

Philanthropy is about more than financial contributions only.

It includes the many gifts that those in our community give to our school, including the gift of sharing time. We are so thankful to the many parents and community members who support our school by participating in activities, worshiping together at Mass, celebrating milestones, and supporting key events such as:

Parent Association

Our Parent-School Association, Warrior Parent Council, plays a vital role in the life of St. Michael’s Prep, and we are pleased to have tremendous participation among our families. Simply being the parent of an enrolled student makes you a member of the Warrior Parent Council (WPC).

The purpose of the WPC is to promote and support the mission and operation of the school by providing communication and volunteer assistance, building community spirit among our families through social events, and serving the broader community through service projects.

Volunteer involvement is priceless to a school’s success and sense of community. Choose from helping out at annual book fairs, uniform re-sales, Homecoming, special holiday events like the Advent Fesitval of Lessons and Carols, Christmas on Campus, or volunteering in the classroom and library. Come join us and “Be Involved!"

What is the Parent Association?

The Warrior Parent Council is a group of parents  who support our campus communities and events through volunteering.

Warrior Dads

We are a spiritual and social organization of fathers committed to serving and supporting St. Michael’s Catholic Preparatory School through our presence and example. Our children witness our service and recognize the normalcy of helping others, which over time eventually becomes part of their being.

There are numerous activities throughout the year in which we serve including grilling at the Homecoming Carnival, hosting the Warrior Dads Mass, camping with our kids, and the legendary dads-only fishing trip! Each activity is an opportunity to show our love for our children, to grow as men, and to fulfill our primary mission of being servant examples in our community. Plus, we have a lot of fun doing it. We make a difference at St. Michael’s Prep!

If you have any questions or are interested in getting involved, please contact our Warrior Dads Chair, John Wright.
Warrior Dads is a group of men who strive to be always present for our children and the St. Michael’s Prep Community.
