Home School Association

Welcome to the Home and School Association. If you are new to our schools, your first question may be, "Home school association, what is that?" The Home and School Association is what would be called the PTA or PTO at some schools.

Mission Statement

The purpose of the Diocese of Metuchen Executive Advisory Board of the Home School ParentsAssociation is primarily one of service to the educational community. The Advisory Board is made up of all local Associations. The Advisory Board functions in an advisory capacity at all levels.

There are three levels; namely, Diocesan, Region and Unit (parish/school). The main activities take place at the Unit level. The Region level exists to assist the Unit Associations when needed. The Diocesan Advisory Board exists to coordinate and facilitate communication between and among Regions. It is responsible for planning, decision-making and leadership.

Since a Catholic school strives to develop Christian life and ideals in all its students, an appreciation for Gospel values, the Catholic Faith and worship, together with the educational ministry of the Church shall form an integral part of this Association.
