Savio Parent Association
The Savio Parent Association (SPA) exists to promote communication and cooperation between parents and the school and to support the faculty and administration in their mission to develop Servant Leaders in the image of Christ. We seek to welcome all families into the St. Dominic Savio community and to bridge the relationship between home and school. We are dedicated to serving this high school and building a strong, faith-based community at Savio. Reach out to spachair@saviochs.org or your class representative to learn more about how you can help.
Upcoming SPA Events
AT A GLANCE
Important update: April Community Session has been rescheduled for Tuesday, May 7th, from 9-10am in the Savio Student Success Center (SCC). It will NOT be on April 23rd. The topic will be an End of year update with Mr Psencik.
Imago Christi Day is Friday, April 26
Imago Christi means in the image of Christ. On April 26, the entire St. Dominic Savio community will set aside the concerns of the normal academic year to give of themselves in service and reflect on what it means to be a Servant Leader in the Image of Christ. Students and faculty will travel to more than 20 service sites around the Austin area to offer more than 1000 hours of service in a single day. Additionally, students may hear from a keynote speaker, participate in community building activities, and spend time in communal prayer during this unique tradition! We could use your help to make this happen!
