The Ram Family Association
Supporting Our Students. Strengthening Our School.
Connected in Faith, Pride, and Family.
Our school community is strongest when families, alumni, faculty, and administration work hand in hand. The Ram Family Association was established to give our entire Gloucester Catholic network a clear, meaningful way to stay connected, support our students, and strengthen our school.
Whether it’s preserving cherished campus traditions, supporting athletic teams, managing practical resources like the Uniform Exchange, or bringing people together for major events like our annual Basket Auction, the RFA is built by our community, for our community.
An Open Invitation to Our Entire Network
While every current GCHS family is automatically a member, involvement in the RFA isn't limited to current parents. Alumni, past parents, grandparents, and friends of GCHS are warmly invited to get involved! You do not need to have a currently enrolled student to join an Action Team, volunteer at events, or lend your support.
We invite you to explore our four Action Teams below and discover how you can get involved—at whatever level fits your schedule!
Our 4 Action Teams
Find Your Place in the Ram Family Association.
The work of the Ram Family Association is powered by four focused Action Teams, each dedicated to a specific area of campus life and community support. Whether you have an hour to give or want to help lead an initiative, every role makes a meaningful difference. Explore our teams below to find where your interests, talents, and schedule align best.
-
To support GCHS families through practical campus resources—including the Uniform Exchange Closet—and to foster a warm, welcoming community for incoming and returning families.
-
To enrich the high school experience by celebrating student milestones, honoring school traditions (from Senior events to exam hospitality), and boosting campus spirit through seasonal initiatives like the RFA Christmas Spirit Initiative.
-
To unify parent support across all GCHS sports programs, streamline team communications, organize photo and recognition events, and ensure every Ram student-athlete feels supported.
-
To organize and execute the RFA's flagship annual fundraising event, driving sponsorship and community involvement to directly benefit school programs.
