In addition to FHAB, H.A. Brown benefits from the support of the School Advisory Committee (SAC). SAC serves as a collaborative, peer-elected group that includes family members, the school principal, teachers, students, and community members.

SACs advocate for improved student achievement, effective teaching, community engagement, and strong communication between home and school. They play a crucial role in guiding the school’s efforts to enhance the educational experience for every student.

While FHAB and SAC are separate entities, we work together to support H.A. Brown’s students and community through our aligned efforts.
