Student-Athlete Advisory Council: The Voice of the Student-Athlete
We are excited to continue the implementation of the Student Athlete Advisory Council! As a representative body of interscholastic athletic and club programs, SAAC will be made up of student-athletes who choose to serve on this council and provide insight on the student-athlete experience. In order to be effective and successful, SAAC participants should be eager and willing to be actively involved. The council will meet on a regular basis throughout the year with the director of athletics and other invited guests.
The mission of the council focuses on four areas:
1. The Student-Athlete Advisory Council is the official representation of and advocates for the student-athlete population to the faculty, staff, and administration.
2. The Student-Athlete Advisory Council encourages athletic participation and support from the student community.
3. The Student-Athlete Advisory Council partners with the athletic department to provide student-athletes with the best experience possible.
4. The Student-Athlete Advisory Council will utilize the P/ATH: Progress Through Athletics program to promote positive leadership and excellence at Parker.
Selection process and meetings:
For the 2023-2024 school year, membership will be open to any Upper School Parker student-athlete. Online sign ups will be available until September 20, 2023.
