Welcome to the Hamilton AAPC!
The mission of the Pasadena chapter of the African American Parent Council is to:
honor and embrace the identity and experiences of Pasadena Unified School District’s African-American families
advocate for the cultural acceptance of all,
and mobilize and engage all stakeholders to transform the system to ensure a high-quality education for every student.
At Hamilton, we host a variety of recurring and special events throughout the year, such as:
