The Lyon College Parents Association, whose membership includes both parents of current and former students, strives to enhance the awareness of parents and promote their active involvement in the life of Lyon College. The Parents Council guides the Association and functions as a representative body of the parents as a whole and as a focus group in planning and directing the work of the Association with the College.

The Council serves the College in various advisory and supportive roles and seeks to foster a sense of community among parents; to facilitate communication between parents and the College; and to enlist parent participation in various efforts serving the goals of the College. The Council endeavors to provide an opportunity for parents to contribute their time, expertise, and support in fulfilling the mission of the College.

In short, save alumni, no one knows Lyon better and has a stronger connection than that of our parents.  Parents will always be a member of the Lyon "extended family."  This is why we encourage any parent with an interest in serving on the Parents Council to let us know by contacting Donald Taylor, Director of Alumni & Parent Services.  He may be reached at 870-698-4240 or by email at dtaylor@lyon.edu.
