HOLDERNESS PARENTS ASSOCIATION
The Holderness School Parents Association offers parents an opportunity to become involved in the life of the school through its support of a variety of programs and events during the school year. All current parents are members of the HSPA, and are encouraged to get involved in different activities to meet other parents and stay connected to the school.
The Parents Association Fund supports activities throughout the year that include faculty appreciation programs, Exam Bake, student activities, dorm nights, and more!
If you would like to be more involved with planning any Parents Association activities, please contact co-chairs Andrew Miller '97 P '24 '26 '28 or Pooja Deveau P '27.
