Welcome to the West Point Parents Club of Central Pennsylvania

The West Point Parents Club (WPPC) of Central Pennsylvania is a source of information, support and fun for parents of cadets. West Point is not a regular college! West Point is a way of life - physically, mentally and sprititually challenging. Cadets reorganize their thoughts and actions to become outstanding leaders of character learning first how to follow, then lead. Your participation will only enhance the West Point experience for your family.

To join the Club, contact Bob Shields (717-497-7407) or Sal & Pam Parascandola (717-938-1965)
