Parents

The Power of Our Parent Community

At St. Martin’s Episcopal School, parent partnership is foundational to who we are. The support, energy, and dedication of St. Martin’s families are woven into the daily life of our campus and have a profound impact on our students’ experiences.

Whether serving through the Saints Community Organization (SCO), volunteering in classrooms, helping organize events, or contributing through fundraising efforts, our parents play a vital role in the life of the school. Their involvement reflects a deep commitment not only to their own children’s success, but to the strength of the entire community.

Our parents don’t just support St. Martin’s—They help elevate it.

Tuition provides the essential foundation for operations at St. Martin’s. It funds faculty and staff salaries, academic programming, student support services, classroom materials, and campus maintenance—ensuring a consistently excellent day-to-day education.

But it is the added generosity of our parents that allows St. Martin’s to go above and beyond. Through fundraising and volunteer leadership, enhancements become possible—bringing new resources, opportunities, and joy to students across every grade level. These efforts support:

Cutting-edge technology and classroom tools
Expanded enrichment, athletics, and arts programming
Professional development for faculty and staff
Upgraded facilities that serve the whole community
Tangible enhancements that enrich everyday student life

Together, we are building a campus of opportunity.

The impact of St. Martin’s parent community is seen in every corner of the school. It’s felt in the spirit of collaboration, the strength of our programs, and the sense of belonging shared by students and teachers alike.

St. Martin’s is more than a place to learn—it’s a place where students are known, challenged, and celebrated. And that’s possible, in large part, because of the unwavering support of our families.
