Parent Engagement
Parents play a significant role in their sons’ growth and success at Prep and are an important part of the Prep community. In keeping with our Jesuit mission, a strong partnership between parents and the school helps foster the boys’ work ethic, attitudes about school, and overall academic and personal development.
There are many ways for parents to support both Prep and their sons. One key avenue is through participation in our active and vibrant Parents’ Club. The Georgetown Prep Parents’ Club works to strengthen the school community and support parents in reinforcing Prep’s mission: forming young men of competence, conscience, courage, and compassion—men of faith and men for others.
All Prep parents and guardians are automatically members of the Parents’ Club and are encouraged to participate in the wide variety of activities offered throughout the year. Events are organized both by grade level and for the entire parent community.
The Parents’ Club Executive Committee works hard to plan many events, including the Mother’s Tea, Father’s Social, Mother-Son and Father-Son Mass and Luncheon.
The Parents’ Club also partners with Prep administrators to host grade-level Parent Education meetings covering important topics such as college recruitment, exam preparation, nutrition, and student wellness.
Ways to Get Involved
- Attend events sponsored by the Parents’ Club. Check the school calendar for upcoming dates. Reach out to Committee co-chairs or your class representative to learn more.
- Volunteer your time, resources, or talents. Volunteering is a great way to connect with other parents, faculty, and staff and to become part of Prep’s close-knit and welcoming community. Contact Jen Reid, Senior Director of Development.
- Support The Prep Fund. Generations of students have benefitted from the generosity of alumni, parents, past parents, and grandparents who have made Prep a priority in their giving.
