Farragut Family Association (FFA)

Farragut Family Association’s mission is to promote family engagement, to enhance and enrich the Farragut experience for our students and dedicated staff, and to build community partnerships.

Building a culture of giving at Farragut is essential–fostering a strong sense of value, loyalty, support and pride. Through parent involvement, the FFA seeks to improve our programs by connecting one another and giving back–to our signature programs, academics, athletics, and student/teacher events

Please consider joining us as you are able to volunteer your time, talents and treasure to support Admiral Farragut Academy.

The FFA will have opportunities for Farragut supporters to be as involved as they would like and in the area that interests them the most, whether it’s fundraising, social events, guest speakers for students/parents, becoming an event sponsor, connecting community partnerships, to involvement at many of our home sporting events.

One of the goals of the FFA is to raise funds to enhance the Farragut experience for our students and staff through campus projects, technology upgrades, curriculum enhancements, sports enhancements, and other upgrades agreed upon by the FFA and the Academy. 

Examples of FFA-supported projects over the years include upgraded playground equipment for the Lower School, sun shades for outdoor areas, new athletic equipment, fencing along the entire perimeter of the campus, and an outdoor inflatable screen to view movies, water bottle fountains across the campus. 

If you are interested in one of the following areas and would like to be involved, please email FFA@Farragut.org, and the Committee Chair will be in touch with the details on how to get further involved.  The FFA will meet monthly to identify upcoming opportunities throughout the school year.
