PFSA - High School

Parent Faculty Staff Association

Our mission

The Eastside Catholic Parent Faculty Student Association (PFSA) is made up of parents, teachers, administrators and students. Our mission is to build community and to support students, teachers, staff and parents of Eastside Catholic. PFSA strives to be of service to the EC community through our various programs, activities and outreach.

Who we are

Every family at Eastside Catholic High School is automatically a member of the PFSA. We have a volunteer Board of Directors and other parents who offer their time, energy and talent to help with PFSA programs, events and activities throughout the year. All EC community members are invited, encouraged and welcome to attend the monthly PFSA meetings. Meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month (September through June) at 9:30 a.m. at Eastside Catholic School.

What we do

Enrichment Grants - PFSA funds grants with the goal of enhancing the learning environment.
Parent/Student Events - PFSA plans a Mother/Son Liturgy and Brunch, a Mother/Daughter Fashion Show and Brunch, a Father/Daughter Candlelight Liturgy and Dinner and a Father/Son event.
Staff Appreciation - Throughout the year PFSA provides our faculty and staff with snacks, treats and lunches as an expression of gratitude for their hard work and dedication.
Parent Networking, Education and Social Events - PFSA plans events for parents to meet, connect and cultivate friendships.
Support for our Students - PFSA provides financial support to the Chaplain’s Fund, the College Counseling Department, ASB Student Leadership, various student clubs and all-school student assemblies.

How we are funded

Families have the opportunity to contribute to PFSA through the online school packet. Every year nearly 80 percent of our families generously donate to PFSA. Thank you! In addition, PFSA benefits from funds received through our Merchant Money program. You can help all year long by shopping at retailers like Bartell Drugs and Amazon (smile.amazon.com).

Get Involved!

PFSA meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month at 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Meetings will be held virtually for Semester 1. All EC community members are invited, encouraged and welcome to attend. Please contact 2021-22 PFSA President S usan Kirby with any questions.

Booster Club

The Eastside Catholic Booster Club works with students, parents, administration, faculty, alumni and friends to support and encourage school spirit.

Throughout each school year, Boosters work to promote school spirit and provide investments to enhance the Crusader experience, including:

All Families Homecoming Tailgate Event
Student spirit gifts and treats throughout the year

Funding partnership for the EC reader board
Supplying of banners in the Athletic Pavilion to identify championship individuals and teams
