Parents
Parents and family play a vital role in their student’s education. By keeping the lines of communication open, parents can encourage their sons and daughters to get involved in all aspects of college life from the classroom to student activities, community service, and athletics.
Our goal is to create a continuing partnership between Keystone College and the parents and family of our students from their first semester at Keystone through graduation. With our help, students can learn how to set goals, develop a sense of purpose and integrity, and make good decisions in tough situations.
