PMAC
What is PMAC?
The Multicultural Advisory Committee (PMAC) acts as an advisory group to the principal. Each committee sets its own mission and goals for the school year. Goals often include learning more about each other to build understanding, developing leadership skills, and working together to plan school-wide multicultural activities. PMAC students work closely with our PCS partner, Community Tampa Bay. www.communitytampabay.org
