Mission Statement

Vision

We at PAAC believe that the administration, faculty, parents, and students of Oak Park District 97 should work to create a high-quality, culturally competent learning environment that promotes academic success, mutual respect, cooperation, and increased self-esteem among all children, especially children of African American heritage.

We Believe

• that parents are the first teachers and should continue to be an integral part of their children's education experience;
• that children of African American heritage are excited about learning and eager for academic success;
• that the history, culture, and contemporary experience of African Americans should be an integral part of the educational experience of all children in District 97.

Our Goals Are

• to advocate for a supportive learning environment that enables all students to achieve academic success;
• to work to strengthen the cooperative link between home and school;
• to help parents and students understand their individual rights, the responsibilities that accompany those rights, and the social, political, and cultural heritage that assures those rights and responsibilities;
• to sponsor programs reflective of the rich cultural experience of children of African American heritage;
• to ensure that all children receive the extracurricular academic support they need.
