Committee Responsibilities

The Raleigh School was founded in 1952 by parents who believed that being involved in their child’s education was important.

Parent participation is still at the core of the school and is included in our mission statement and abiding values. Parent involvement makes a significant statement about the importance of education, reinforces the values of our school, and benefits all of the members of our community.

Your school involvement is good for your child

Your child will be excited when you do things for the school. They will see that you are making their school a priority and that you value their education. Knowing your child’s friends, teachers and classmates’ parents strengthens the community.

Your school involvement is good for you as a parent

You will have a better understanding of what is happening at school and, by seeing our wonderful teachers in action, may learn new techniques that you can apply at home.

Your school involvement is good for the school

Many of the committees support activities that could not be done without parent involvement; they also allow us to keep tuition lower than other independent schools.
