Nearly one hundred years ago, a group of parents dedicated to academic excellence in a small and nurturing environment, came together and The Unquowa School was established.  That spirit of commitment to our fundamental ideals and the partnership of our faculty, staff and parents, lives on today, in The Unquowa Parents Association, more commonly referred to as the UPA.

As evidenced by the following list of UPA officers, there are many positions and opportunities for parents to share their time and their talent with the whole school community.  What each member of the UPA has in common and what each board position strives to achieve, is the sense of community and fellowship that have become the hallmark of the Unquowa education.

The scope of the UPA can best be summed up in two words; fun and fundraising.   We host many school-wide events and endeavors that are designed to enrich our students' educational experience as well as to foster a strong sense of school spirit.   Whether it is an evening out for the whole family to enjoy, such as our Bingo Night, or an adult only gala affair, such as our Annual Auction,  our volunteers come together to support Unquowa.  The UPA helps to build our school's future on the sturdy foundation of her history and tradition.

All parents and/or guardians of each student are, by definition, members of the UPA.  We meet each month to discuss current projects and brain storm for new ideas.  Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend because the UPA is the gateway to parental participation in our school.  From classroom representatives, our room reps, to president of the UPA, there are many avenues for involvement in our children's education.

Parental partnership is an integral part of the Unquowa tradition and the UPA facilitates this grand partnership in an effort to support our students while working to enrich their educational experience.  Come and join us.
