The Maclay Community Association recognizes the diverse nature of families and is committed to creating an inclusive environment where all students and guests feel welcomed and supported. In the few events that are ‘parent specific’, we encourage and welcome students to invite a guest who holds a significant role in their lives to attend.

We welcome you to the MCA where we focus on Connecting our Community – and that means you! The goal of the MCA and the members of the Steering Committee is to engage parents, guardians, grandparents, extended family members, and caregivers allowing us to serve as liaisons who support the community in its efforts throughout the school year. Whether you are new to Maclay or have a senior graduating in 2025, we want to connect you with other parents and families through our on-campus events, socials, and supporting the school’s programs. We have a wide range of volunteer opportunities, both new and old, and we are excited to get you involved.
If you have an hour, once a week, or once a month to offer your time, there's a place for you and your family here.
Please join us and get involved!
