At Northwoods Catholic, we believe that parents are the primary educators of their children and we make every effort to partner with parents in the education and formation of their children.

Many parents (and grandparents!) desire to show their support in a very concrete way. In addition to volunteering, supporting fundraising initiatives, and coordinating many of the social activities, some parents also serve in advisory roles. We want and encourage our parents to be involved.
