Purpose and Goal
The Secondary Parent Council strives to enhance the operations of the school and daily lives of its students, faculty, and administration. The Council is composed of a board and parent representatives from each grade who act as a reciprocal voice between parents and administration. Among its many functions and along with countless energetic parent and grandparent volunteers, Parent Council hosts monthly teacher appreciation luncheons, serves snacks to students during semester exam week, rewards monthly character education award winners, funds teacher and student scholarships, oversees publication of the student directory, and stocks and mans the Spirit Shop. Parent Council also organizes large scale fundraisers, most recently the Speaker/Banquet event featuring Deborah Norville. All Boyd-Buchanan parents are encouraged to be a part of Parent Council.
