Kent PTA's Theme
"Make a World of Difference!"
What is PTA?
As largest volunteer child advocacy association in the nation,
National Parent Teacher Association (PTA) reminds our country of its
obligations to children and provides parents and families with a powerful
voice to speak on behalf of every child while providing the best tools for
parents to help their children be successful students.
National PTA does not act alone. Working in cooperation with many national
education, health, safety, and child advocacy groups and federal agencies,
National PTA collaborates on projects that benefit children and that bring
valuable resources to its members.
PTA's Mission
PTA is
A powerful voice for all children,
A relevant resource for families and communities, and
A strong advocate for the education and well-being of every child.
PTA Vision
Making every child's potential a reality.
Purposes of PTA
PTA Structure
Most Local PTAs meet at a school campus. Groups of
Local PTAs often join together to form councils. Above councils, there are
18 Area Presidents and a Texas PTA Board of Directors, made up of
volunteers. The board sets policies for PTAs throughout Texas. A 20-member
office in Austin supports the work of the association.
