Seabury Hall Parent Organization

SEABURY HALL PARENT ORGANIZATION

Seabury Hall is successful thanks in part to a wonderful parent body that supports the school with its time, talent and treasure. Whether it's through volunteering at school functions, attending performances and athletic events, or participating in fundraising activities, parents of students and alumni are a vital part of the Seabury Hall community.

Our parent support group is called The Seabury Hall Parent Organization (SHPO) and every parent is a member. The mission of SHPO is to support the school in accomplishing its goals. SHPO encourages parent involvement through volunteer opportunities such as being an athletic team parent, building sets and sewing costumes for performing arts or participating in career or community service days. SHPO sponsors fundraising activities like the Maunalei Marketplace which enlists the help of over 700 parent volunteers. SHPO promotes effective parenting through regular workshops and seminars like "Parent Education Nights". SHPO also communicates regularly with the Head of School.
