Join the Parents Association

The Parents Association of Fork Union Military Academy is a voluntary association of parents who wish to support the mission of the Academy with their time, talents, and gifts.

The Parents Association provides direct support to the Academy's educational programs and technologies through their dues and fundraising endeavors.

Recent projects supported by the Parents Association have included the installation of digital smart boards and television upgrades in our classrooms, teacher appreciation awards, sponsorship of the Military Ball, providing prizes for cadets working our Phonathon, and hats for members of our sports teams.

The Parents Association also helps encourage parent participation and facilitates parent communication and networking.
