Welcome to the GPA PO
Our Purpose and Mission
All parents and/or guardians of students currently enrolled at Glendale Preparatory Academy are members of the school’s Parent Organization. We are a community of parent volunteers that provides a support system to enrich our student’s academic experience. We volunteer our time in service, facilitate communication, administer social activities, and raise funds as needed, to benefit and support the GPA faculty and administration who are working to provide the best educational experience for our children.

News & Announcements
Griffin Games: We hope you all have made plans to join us for our 2nd Annual Griffin Games on Saturday, March 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. In addition to the great games, food, and people, you’ll want to make sure to be here at 11:30 a.m. for a special announcement from Headmaster Williams and Dr. Scoggin, the CEO of Great Hearts Academies.
As you prepare for the event, you can assist the school by doing the following:
- Donate items to the Parent Organization to create raffle gift baskets for the Games – each class section, e.g. 6A, is being asked to donate according to a theme (see the separate Griffin Games email coming today for details)
- Volunteer to assist with a booth at the Games – contact Sandy Gallo (sandygallo@cox.net)
- Read the Legacy Gift Program email and attached information (coming this week!) and join in the campaign
Hugs From Home: Thank you so much for all the wonderful donations. We’re excited to send off these care packages to the troops.
Spring Dress Code Reminder: After Spring Break, students will once again be allowed to wear khaki walking shorts and short sleeve oxford shirts (oxford shirts apply to 9th graders only).

Lost and found: All lost and found items will be displayed next to the Booster booth this Friday, March 12th at 12:30 p.m. Please remind your children to check for their items. Items not picked up on Friday will be donated to Goodwill.
