About PSO

People Supporting OCSA (PSO) is a vital community of volunteers who support Orange County School of the Arts.  Many of us are parents, but we are also grandparents, alumni and other members of OCSA's ecosystem.  

In addition to facilitating volunteerism, the PSO provides a forum through which parents can:

  • Learn from the experiences of other parents.
  • Engage with school leaders on issues and policies important to all of us.
  • Make friends across our diverse community.

Your dues of $35 a year make possible three programs at the core of the PSO mission:

  • Distribute funds through The Grant Program, allowing teachers to provide extraordinary experiences to students.
  • Celebrate OCSA’s unmatched faculty during Teacher Appreciation Week.  
  • Provide regular opportunities for Parent Education on important topics. 

Even if you can’t volunteer time, your tax-deductible membership fee is both appreciated and crucial to funding these programs that benefit the school and its students.  

Thank you for visiting us and joining People Supporting OCSA.
