The U.S. Naval Academy Parent’s Club of the Texas Gulf Coast is a non-profit organization open to all persons interested in the Naval Academy, with membership composed primarily of parents of current and former midshipmen, who have the common goal of furthering the objectives of the club, which are:

• To help parents of midshipmen become better informed about the Naval Academy, about life at the Academy, and about career opportunities after graduation.
• To provide opportunities for parents of midshipmen to share ideas on how to help the midshipmen cope with the victories, frustrations and defeats while at the Academy.
• As a group, to recognize the achievements of the midshipmen and communicate these accomplishments to the community. Also, to communicate to the midshipmen the support of parents and friends for their contribution to our country and our community.

To accomplish these objectives, the Club:

• Meets four or five times a year to exchange ideas, to hear speakers, and to receive information about the Academy. Guest speakers are usually USNA alumni who are able to provide the parents with a unique perspective of life at the Academy and valuable information about naval career paths.
• Participates in the annual Inter-Service Military Ball held to honor the students of the military academies and serves as a member on the joint committee that organizes this event.
• Honors the graduating midshipmen from the Texas Gulf Coast area each year with an appropriate memento of our recognition of their accomplishments.
