The purpose of the FPA is to support the Fourth Presbyterian School's strategic goals and its mission. It fosters a sense of community among our families, as we encourage volunteerism and generosity. Its fundraising initiatives will support the professional development of our faculty and staff, as well as other needs of the school, all to the glory of God.

The Fourth Parent Association (FPA) is an organization formed to foster parent support and interaction with Fourth School and a closer relationship between the home and the school.

Throughout the year, the FPA may sponsor many events designed to promote strong ties between school and family. The FPA generates funds that provide enhancements beyond the school budget, and provides volunteer services to enrich the overall life of the school community.

General meetings are held monthly. Parents are encouraged to participate in as many activities as possible. It is the FPA's hope and prayer that this network will provide an avenue in which each parent can share his or her gifts and serve where he or she is needed.
