Volunteerism for parents is an excellent way to link home and school. By volunteering, we build mutually supportive relationships between parents, students, teachers, administrators, and the community, while we work together toward a common goal. Day, evening, weekend, and weekday opportunities are available as your schedule permits.

About the Parents' Committee
The Germantown Academy Parents' Committee is a diverse group of active parents whose objective is the enrichment of the GA community by promotion of communication, cooperation, friendship and understanding among parents, faculty and students.  The Committee also helps raise funds for special school projects.  The Committee has an Executive Committee, Co-Chairs representing each class, and Standing Committees that are responsible for school-wide activities. All parents are members of the Parents' Committee.  It meets monthly in the Parents’ Room and ALL parents are welcome.  Please join the activities and share your talents.
