The National PTA School of Excellence program is a recognition program designed to support and celebrate partnerships between PTAs (Parent-Teacher Associations) and schools. This prestigious designation is awarded to schools that have demonstrated a strong commitment to building effective family-school partnerships that enrich the educational experience and overall well-being of students.

To become a National PTA School of Excellence, schools work collaboratively with their PTAs to address various areas such as family engagement, school climate, and student success. Schools that earn this distinction have successfully met the program’s standards by enhancing communication, promoting inclusivity, and engaging families in meaningful ways.
