prc board & staff

The PRC is a parent-run cooperative. As such, we are always in need of members to serve on committees, events and the board of directors. With only a few paid PRC staff members, many of the PRC jobs, such as planning and staffing activities and events, are run mostly by parent members.

Do you think you can help plan an event for the PRC, or have experience relevant to one of our committees?
Then get involved! If you are interested or need more information, please call the office at 767-3808 or
contact our Participation Coordinator
