PPA Vision
As the performing arts school of choice, we foster confidence, celebrate diversity, and emphasize academic excellence.

PPA Mission
Parker Performing Arts School equips students to become independent creative thinkers, critical problem solvers, and successful collaborators. In our safe learning environment, students engage in rich and innovative instruction in academics and the performing arts in preparation for their roles as citizens of a diverse and increasingly globalized community.

All public comments must be submitted 3 hours prior to any public Board meeting.

In an effort to be more proactive and less reactive to the needs of our school, we'll be changing the format of our working meetings to reflect the urgent needs of PPA.  We will determine our work focus for each month at the monthly Business meeting - these may be new topics or continuing projects.  The ultimate goal is to be better prepared when going into our annual strategic planning meeting with initiatives for the upcoming year so that we can successfully execute on our plans throughout the year.  

March working meeting topic:

Community Engagement/Volunteer Activity: How do we as the governing board of PPA inspire willing and engaged involvement in our school to assist our staff and Admin team in executing on their goals? A key point to remember in our planning - community is what drives many families' desire to stay with our school until their students move to HS.
