Parent Teacher Association
Secrest's Parent Teacher Association is an organization that bridges families with the faculty and staff of Secrest. We strive to host events that promote a sense of community and enrich the hard work of the faculty and staff at Secrest.
In addition, we help with school fundraisers to supplement the school's budget. PTA's fundraising efforts help support field trips, cutting-edge educational technology, and other meaningful experiences that are hard to fund with tight budgets.
