Volunteering at St. Philip
St. Philip is known for its strong sense of community. This community leads to a richer, more fulfilling school experience for our students, staff, and parents. We are extremely grateful for our generous parent and community volunteers who really make this happen, and set a wonderful example for our children. We also rely on volunteers and fundraising, since tuition alone does not cover all educational costs. Read on to learn more about St. Philip volunteer opportunities and requirements.
