Purpose
The T.H.E.O.S. Parent Auxiliary (TPA) is a volunteer service-oriented group of parents and guardians whose children attend T.H.E.O.S. The purpose of this organization is to directly support the Three Hierarchs Eastern Orthodox School, school board and teachers through various social events, annual activities and fund-raising efforts.
In an effort to make the T.H.E.O.S. experience affordable to all the families who seek to raise their children in this Christ-centered educational environment, the T.H.E.O.S. school board and administration keep tuition cost to a minimum.
To that end, the TPA works to raise funds to help the school maintain its high standards of academic excellence. The TPA serves the needs of this school’s social, educational and financial needs.
Please consider how you can serve your school through your time and talents. VOLUNTEER to be part of this worthy mission of “Educating the Whole Child for a Holy Life.”
