Mills Springs Academy’s Parent Volunteer Association works to support the MSA mission while enhancing the school experience for families by providing avenues for active volunteer participation, organizing activities that foster community spirit and supporting MSA’s philanthropic initiatives and priorities.
While MSA is located in the Alpharetta/ Milton area, our students come from more than 50 different zip codes in and around Metro Atlanta! So the Mill Springs Academy PVA is the best way to connect with other MSA families. The PVA provides opportunities to socialize, as well as provide support and resources for your family.
The PVA consists of parent volunteers who commit their time and effort to improving the educational and social experience of our students. One of our main goals is to create a sense of community through the following PVA sponsored events and initiatives:
All families of current MSA students are automatically members of the PVA. So please join your fellow parents by signing up and volunteering to support your MSA Community.
If at anytime you wish to contact your Parent Volunteer Association, please feel free to email them at millspringspva@millsprings.org.
