Govs Family Network

Our school thrives when parents and guardians are active partners in Academy life. The Govs Family Network provides families with a way to connect with one another, stay involved in school life, and enrich the student experience.

As a Govs parent or guardian, you are already part of The Govs Family Network and will receive notifications about events, meetings, and activities. The Network will convene once per semester (September and January) via Zoom.

Ready to make a direct impact?

Join one or more of the following committees and roll up your sleeves.

ADMISSION COMMITTEE 

As a member of the Admission Committee, you will serve as an ambassador for Govs during the admission season and help us welcome the exceptional students who will shape the future of our community.

Cobb Room Volunteers

Volunteers provide a warm welcome and valuable information to families in our Admission Office during the busy admission season, when hundreds of prospective students and their families visit Govs for interviews and tours. Shifts run Monday through Friday, September through January.

Open House Volunteers/Accepted Students Day

In October, Govs welcomes prospective students and their families to campus for a day of programming. In April, accepted students return to campus to gather information to help them make their final enrollment decision. Parent volunteers help out on both occasions. 

Connecting with New Families

Current parents and guardians have invaluable insight and experience to offer families who are new to Govs.

THE GOVERNOR'S FUND COMMITTEE 

The Governors Fund is the Academy's annual fund, and it touches every corner of campus. As a member of this committee, you'll connect with fellow parents to share your enthusiasm and inspire them to invest in everything that makes Govs exceptional. The work of this committee centers on personal outreach — phone calls and other direct communication — during three key giving periods:

October 2026: Fall Appeal
February  2027: Govs Giving Day
June 15-30, 2027: End-of-year appeal
