HOME & SCHOOL ASSOCIATION (HSA)
The purpose of the Home & School Association is to encourage communication and mutual assistance among the School, the Church and the home, to provide programs to promote child welfare, and to raise funds for financing school improvements and programs.
The publication of the Saint Agatha School Handbook is made possible through the generosity of the Home & School Association. Its purpose is to help parents understand what is being done at Saint Agatha to enable our young people to attain the best possible Catholic education.
All parents of children attending Saint Agatha are encouraged to participate actively in the Home & School Association. Annual dues are $35.00 per family. You will receive a complimentary school calendar with payment of dues.
Last year shoppers helped St. Agatha earn almost $1000 just by doing their normal grocery shopping. Link your Kroger card today to help support us!
