Families
The Loyola community depends on the support and care of its families.
There are several parent groups within the school that are responsible for a number of truly fantastic initiatives during the year: the Mothers' Guild, the Parents' Association, and the Grad Dance Committee.
By sharing your unique talents and skills, you not only enrich our students' lives at Loyola, but you also provide an example of leadership and service for students at Loyola. Through giving your time and energy, we trust that you will also feel a connectedness and a strong sense of community here at Loyola.
Get Involved
We welcome all parents to participate in these groups and encourage you to consider volunteering your time. There are various opportunities for volunteering that require different levels of commitment.
