Parent Engagement
Parents are essential partners and active participants in a Marist education. A strong parent-school relationship helps advance excellence and enhance the student experience. Marist School has a longstanding tradition of parent involvement in community activities and philanthropic initiatives.
Parents are a vital part of the Marist School community, lending support for all areas of the school.
Marist Parents Club
The Marist Parents Club fosters the intellectual and cultural life of students, promotes an understanding and cooperative spirit among parents, faculty, and administration, and cultivates a spirit of fellowship among parents. All parents and guardians of Marist students are members of the Marist Parents Club, and there are many ways to volunteer and get involved. In the Marist tradition, the Parents Club supports Marist School through community-building activities, fundraising, and appreciation events.
Marist Arts Guild
The Marist Arts Guild (MAG) supports and promotes the arts at Marist School, fostering excellence for students and faculty involved in band, chorus, dance, theater, and visual arts programs. MAG membership and philanthropic initiatives provide funding for a wide variety of needs of the Fine Arts Department including instruments, art materials, choral attire, band uniforms, and more. Marist Arts Guild memberships are available at a variety of levels and volunteer opportunities abound, offering everyone in the Marist community the chance to participate.
Marist Booster Club
The Marist Booster Club is essential to the ongoing excellence of Marist’s athletics program, supplementing the athletic budget and encouraging enthusiastic War Eagle spirit. Through memberships, concession sales, annual golf and tennis tournaments, and other fundraisers, the Booster Club provides equipment, training, resources, and more for both students and coaches. The Booster Club encourages everyone to get involved to support Marist’s athletics program, and volunteers are always welcome.
