Parents' Association

The Parents' Association is an organization whose purpose is to encourage and facilitate parent involvement in the Asheville School community and to strengthen communications on issues of interest and concern to parents. The Association will hold three general business meetings this year, and a variety of other social events and committee activities. To see a calendar of events, visit our Calendars page.

All current parents of boarding and day students are members of the Association. We welcome your involvement!

You may also contact Tammy Harward, Parents Relations Coordinator, with questions or to indicate your interest in becoming involved.

Cathy and Chip Blackwelder, parents of Emery '13, are co-chairs of the Parents' Association, and your representatives on the Board of Trustees. Please feel free to contact them at any time with questions, concerns, suggestions and ideas.
