Parents play an important role in the life of the Academy that strengthens the experiences that make Ursuline such a special community.
Through the Mothers Club and Dads Club, parents have opportunities to connect with one another, support students and faculty, and participate in the traditions that shape the Ursuline experience. The Mothers Club and Dads Club help foster the spirit of Serviam throughout the community.
Mothers Club
For generations, the Mothers Club has been a cornerstone of the Ursuline community. Every mother of a current Ursuline student is automatically a member.
Rooted in a tradition that dates back to 1932, the Mothers Club supports students, families, and the Academy through meaningful volunteer opportunities, community-building events, and cherished Ursuline traditions. From welcoming new families to celebrating seniors and graduates, members help create memorable experiences that enrich student life and strengthen connections across the community.
Mothers Club also offers opportunities for fellowship through quarterly meetings and social gatherings throughout the year.
