CHS SCHOOL PARENT COUNCIL

The parents and guardians of our students at CHS offer an important voice in advocating for our students. The School Parent Council meets once a month, and is composed of parents, and guardians. The goal of the PSC is for our families to come together, make connections, and talk with each other about school issues and events, to support the school and advocate for quality education.

Charlestown is creating a new School Parent Council! If you are interested in joining the School Parent Council, please reach out to Mercedes Garcia, Family Liaison, at mgarciaorozco@bostonpublicschools.org
