PTA provides opportunities to meet with others who have the same interests as you. By sharing common concerns, you will feel more empowered. Being part of PTA connects families and schools and results in parental support and makes school involvement easier. PTA also provides educational opportunities.
From local-level parent education meetings to the Texas PTA Annual Convention, PTA encourages learning and the sharing of accomplishments, interests, and concerns. Ultimately, PTA provides the opportunity to serve, volunteer, and contribute to the welfare of all children, because children represent our future.
PTA will introduce you to a great variety of new activities and opportunities to share your special talents. PTA will give you an opportunity, not only to impact your local community but to have input in major legislative and policy issues affecting children throughout the state. Membership gives you a voice for Texas children!
Texas PTA is the largest child-advocacy association in Texas.

What Does A PTA Do?
PTA is a grassroots organization made up of parents, teachers, and others in our community who have an interest in children, families, and schools. For more than 100 years, PTA has focused on programs that support children and families in all aspects of our daily lives. Whether it's providing that special outlet for a child's artistic creativity, educating youth on the importance of being good stewards for our planet, or helping to ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow up healthy and safe; PTA offers programs that allow students and families to be the best they can be!
Why Should I Get Involved?
PTA is America's number one parent involvement resource. Your child is why you should belong. More than 30 years' worth of research has proven that children do better when their parents are involved both at home and at school. Grades and test scores climb. Self-esteem grows. School improves.
There's a simple way for you to help your child succeed: Join PTA! You'll belong to a community of parents committed to their children's well-being and to improving school performance. When PTA gets involved, children benefit. When YOU get involved with the PTA, the child who benefits the most is your own!
