Campus Advisory Council

The Campus Advisory Council (CAC) is a committee of school and community representatives who work to promote excellence in education for all students through broad-based representation. CAC members promote cooperation and coordination of community resources, and provide advice and assistance to our principal, to maximize opportunities for improving student performance. Participating members include the principal, faculty, parents, citizens, community and business partner representatives.

Specific functions of the CAC include providing review and comment on:

  • Campus Educational Program
