St. Andrew's Parents' Association

SAPA's mission is to promote a closer cooperation and unity of spirit among parents, faculty, and students by involving and enabling all parents to be of service to the school and the community.

What is SAPA?

The St. Andrew’s Parents’ Association (SAPA) is an energetic, active organizational community made up of all parents of St. Andrew’s students. Our purpose is to facilitate parental understanding of the school’s goals and achievements, and to provide enrichment, parental support, and financial assistance to all aspects of the school.

SAPA hosts several fundraisers throughout the year and funds from those events are used for a variety of student, parent, and community events and to support our faculty, including featured speakers, faculty appreciation, cultural heritage events, classroom activities, and holiday celebrations.

SAPA recognizes that we are a diverse group of parents with different talents, interests, and time commitments. Regardless of personal situation, opportunities abound for support and involvement in the SAPA community. Please join us in making the best school in Mississippi even better!
