Parents & Families

When a student is part of the PASD team, they learn invaluable life skills...public speaking, research, analysis and critical thinking. But what really makes the PASD team even more special is the dynamics of the community itself. The coaches and the students have created such a wonderful culture that is safe, kind, inclusive, and fun. Amidst all the learning, there is always laughter."

- Colleen Gormley, Parent '24
