STUDENTS. TEACHERS. PARENTS.

ABC is led by parent volunteers committed to supporting Puyallup’s highly capable students and families. 

The Academic Booster Club of Puyallup began in 1983, when families came together to support the needs of highly capable students in the Puyallup School District.

Since then, parents and educators have worked together to provide classroom resources, support enrichment, advocate for highly capable learners, strengthen the Hi-Cap community, and award scholarships to graduating seniors. ABC was also part of the community supporting the development of the QUEST Program for Academic Excellence.
