Parents

Everest Academy Parents Association

The mission of the parents association is to support the school in achieving its mission to provide the highest quality education and integral formation to young people. The primary role of the parent association is to assist and support the school in organizing and implementing school activities, projects, events, and fund-raising projects. The secondary role of the association is to bring school families closer together in a Catholic environment through social, educational, and spiritual events. The parents association works to foster the spirit of working in service to God and to each other. There are numerous committees in which parents are encouraged to lend their time and talents. For more information, contact the principal.

Fundraising

Tuition does not cover all of the school’s annual operational expenditures. In order to limit tuition increases while continuing to improve the quality of our educational programs, parents, grandparents, and friends are asked to contribute as generously as they can to the school’s fundraising activities. Everest Academy engages in three principle fundraising activities a year and relies on every family to participate: the Annual Golf Outing, the Annual Fund Campaign and the Annual Gala / Auction. All these activities raise funds that support the school’s operating budget. Parents will receive information about these activities in advance.

There are other events and activities approved by the school’s administration, organized by the parents association or student council, in which parents will be asked to participate. The proceeds from these events fund the operations of specific clubs, events, or items of purchase not otherwise allocated in the budget.

Parent Programs

Throughout the year, Everest Academy offers a range of programs for parents, including, seminars, retreats and other spiritual activities. These programs are aimed at building community and supporting parents in their role as the primary educators of their children. The dates and topics will be published. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend these events. They include but are not limited to: Adoration and Family Holy Hours, Spiritual Direction, Regnum Christi, Familia, Parent Orientation evenings, Soup and Substance and Advent by Candlelight.

Regnum Christi

Regnum Christi is a worldwide apostolic movement of Catholic laity affiliated with the Legionaries of Christ. Regnum Christi enjoys full ecclesiastical approval and its members are engaged in a variety of projects and ministries at the service of the Church and of society. Everest Academy exists in large part due to the dedicated efforts of the men and women of Regnum Christi. For more information, visit www.RegnumChristi.org or contact the principal.
