About PTA.

PTA is a grassroots organization made up of parents, teachers, and others around the state who have a special interest in children, families, and schools.  PTA membership is as diverse as Texas is in cultures, education levels, and parenting skills.  By joining PTA, a member automatically becomes part of the largest child-advocacy organization in the state -- over 750,000 strong across Texas. 

MISSION. 

The mission of PTA is three fold: 

TO support and speak on behalf of children and youth in the schools, in the community, and before governmental agencies and other organizations that make decisions affecting children; 
 
TO assist parents in developing the skills they need to raise and protect their children; and
 
TO encourage parent and public involvement in the public schools of this nation. 

 
What does PTA do? 

PTAs work for children.  PTAs meet together, study problems, support teachers, volunteer in schools, attend workshops on parenting and become informed on issues regarding children and youth.  As a result, PTA members become better parents, teachers, and citizens.
