The Parents’ Association establishes connections and creates experiences to enrich family and student experiences. By liaising with YHS staff, alums and parents, parent volunteers work to build bridges between school and home, creating an ever-deepening spirit of community.
All parents are members of the association and we welcome our school’s diverse families through a variety of opportunities for involvement. Fundraising supports our children's education. We are a non-profit organization governed by its own by-laws, and all funds raised go directly to the school.
Active participation in the association not only enriches your child’s school experience but also allows you to be a positive role model. Volunteer your time to YHS and enjoy one of the most important times in your child’s life.
