A commitment to educating all children is demonstrated by the high level of student, staff, parent and community involvement. Students are involved through the Mahaffie Leadership Team. Staff members work collaboratively on a variety of school improvement committees. Parents and community members are active participants on the school site council and PTO. Parents serve as VIPS Volunteers to actively engage with our staff and students.
