Meet the GISHPA Board

The GISH Parent Association (GISHPA) is a volunteer group made up of parents and caregivers who work together to support students, teachers, and the school community at Elmer S. Gish School. Our board helps guide fundraising, events, volunteer programs, and communication between home and school.

Our mission

To support student learning, strengthen the connection between school and families, and build a caring and inclusive community at Elmer S. Gish School.
We do this through fundraising, volunteering, communication, and year-round family engagement.

Our vision

A school community where every student feels supported, families feel connected, and teachers have the resources they need to enrich classroom and extracurricular experiences.
