Parents
Parents provide an obvious lion's share to our students through their emotional, financial and community support. Many parents choose to extend their support by volunteering their time at the school through various groups and projects.
Every parent is a member of the Parents' Association which meets monthly at the school. The group of parents help represent each class' interests at North Cross and organize spirit building events like the Holiday Bonfire and Homecoming weekend Pep Rallies. They raise money through efforts like the Kroger Cares program, Amazon Smile, and the Uniform (Re)Sale at the beginning of the school year.
Friends of the Arts is a parent-volunteer group which holds fundraisers to support the arts at the school. Through their efforts they've bought instruments for the music department, including a Baby Grand piano, supplies for studio and digital art, musical instruments and camera equipment for Yearbook.
Athletics receives essential support through its parent-run Boosters Club. The group volunteers to time at swim meets, sell concessions at athletic events at "Raider Joe's," and sells North Cross branded sports gear through raidergear.org, as well as hosting several fundraisers throughout the year. Their support has given our student athletes new uniforms, equipment and transportation to contests.

Grandparents and Special Friends
North Cross itself is an extension of many families, so we appreciate the passion and guidance our students' extended families provide to them. Each winter we invite grandparents and special friends to come to the campus and meet with their Lower Schooler for a peek around their classrooms, a group activity, breakfast and a holiday choral program. It's an event that leaves no smile left behind.
Alumni Connections
Alumni are the largest group of individuals with a common history at North Cross. Their connection to the school keeps our history and our future celebrated. We enjoy hearing how our graduates, young and old, have made their ways in the world. Whether it's an athletic achievement, success in college or beyond, or the addition of another future Raider, we welcome your news.
