Parent Association

The Parent Association is a representative body of both junior and senior parents — NCSSM’s version of a PTA. The Association is excited to support school activities by organizing volunteer service opportunities for parents and guardians and by acting as a collective voice for parents’ interests. All parents of current students, including both the Durham and Morganton campuses and the Online Program, are automatically members of the Parent Association and there are no accompanying dues.

We’ve got a slate of gatherings throughout the year when we rely on parent support — from welcoming the newest NCSSM families and cheering on our students, to thanking staff and celebrating accomplishments, there are many ways for parents to get involved!

The Parent Association Leadership Team consists of an Executive Committee and Regional Parent Liaisons. These two teams are dedicated to fostering a strong, statewide community among parents and facilitating their engagement with the school. They collaborate to organize events, provide support, and advance the mission of our school. Current parents who are interested in joining the Parent Association leadership team can email Trish Aiello, or the Parent Association Chairperson.

Meeting Schedule (2024-2025)

To keep our parent body informed and involved, the Parent Association meets once in the summer to welcome new and returning members and four times during the school year. All meetings are held by videoconference and breakout sessions are hosted in the later portions of each meeting to ensure that you receive information that is relevant to your student’s campus or program.
