Welcome to the Parent Engagement Committee (P.E.C)

P.E.C President's Welcome

On behalf of St. Peter & St. Paul Catholic School’s P.E.C, we would like to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year. The P.E.C's mission is to continue strengthening and supporting our school’s growth and to make it a thriving community for our kids to learn and grow to their full potential.

Families, teachers, and staff are the backbone of the strong, supportive community here at St. Peter & St. Paul Catholic School. Family Involvement is a long tradition and necessity at our school and, in fact, one of our school’s greatest strengths. For those of you new to our school, we encourage you to get involved and volunteer. Your ideas, time, and talents are needed, and your involvement is invaluable for our students. Whether your commitment is big or small, there is a place for you to volunteer!

We thank you in advance for your continued support. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to any of our P.E.C officers with any questions, suggestions, or volunteer in any way that you can. We are looking forward to another great school year in person, where we can continue making great strides that benefit our students and staff.

About the Parent Engagement Committee (P.E.C)

The Parent Engagement Committee Guild (P.E.C) consists of parents, teachers and staff that voluntarily come together once per month to plan and organize the school's activities and fundraisers. The primary purpose of all P.E.C-sponsored activities is to enhance the educational experience of all students at our school. The PEC does not set school policy or entertain complaints about the school, but does direct all fundraising efforts that benefit the school.

St. Peter and St. Paul School is proud of its welcoming, Catholic-Christian community, which is supported and made possible by all of the school families and volunteers that continually give of their time and talent. If you are interested in learning more about the P.E.C or just have a general question, please e-mail our executive board.

All our parents are members of the P.E.C and are welcomed to attend our monthly meetings.
