Volunteers

 

Our school has been in existence for over 80 years due to the support and dedication f constituents, parents, teachers, and friends in the community.  We request that each family of students in grades K-10 give their time in involvement.  Please understand that your time and effort are extremely valuable to our school family.  The staff at Palisades Christian Academy would like to thank you for providing this valuable help to the school.  Share the blessing of time and be involved!

 
Some of the ways you can be involved:

Join our Home and School Association—Ask the office how you can join!

  • Volunteer in the classroom
