High School Parent Support Organization
Organised by The Parent Support Organization (PSO) provides financial and volunteer support in order to empower artistic exploration and discovery through UNCSA's comprehensive high school academic curriculum.
Story
The PSO is a vital institution that empowers the High School faculty and administrators to deliver a fully immersive arts experience for our high school students." Martin Ferrell, High School Dean
Help Us Pack the Pickle Jar
As parents, we want our children to follow their passion and discover their voice as artists. In the last several years the PSO has donated over $100,000 to the high school experience. Amongst other things, we have purchased laptops for the student-run newspaper and yearbook, helped to pay for teacher training in robust project design and implementation, purchased the equipment for the High School Maker Space (including 3-D printers!), funded the Prized Pickle and Device scholarships, and funded the Guest Artist/Speaker Fund to help expand and diversify the high school academic program.
