The PTA—the Parent Teacher Association for Our Lady of Sorrows School.
The School Board—an advisory board that helps develop a long term plan, establish annual goals, adopts and monitors the budget, reviews policies and procedures, addresses facility needs, and promotes marketing and public relations.
