The Home & School Association (H&SA) is a parent volunteer organization that bridges home and school life, enhancing the Immaculata experience for our students and families. Every parent or guardian of a child enrolled at Immaculata, as well as all faculty and staff, are members of the H&SA. Therefore, we encourage our whole community to get involved and invite YOU to attend an upcoming H&SA meeting. 

​There are many opportunities to share your time and talents with our school. Volunteers are an essential component of student life and promote fellowship and community. ​If you are interested in becoming involved, please indicate your interest and someone will be in touch.

​Anyone volunteering in the school while children are present must complete the Diocesan Safe Environment Training and have a Volunteer Form on file.

The following Immaculata parents have made a commitment to supporting our school through volunteerism and leadership. ​If you'd like to learn about volunteer opportunities or join the H&SA Board, please contact Kathy Badillo.
