Welcome to the Parents Association... the heart of parent involvement on campus! Every parent with a child in the school is automatically a member of the Parents Association. As a parent, that means you can play an active part in your child’s education. Harrisburg Academy’s Parents Association helps our school to provide the best possible learning environment for children. And, by volunteering, parents let their children know they believe the school is special.
