PTA Membership/Join
PTA is a grassroots organization made up of parents, teachers and others around the
state who have an 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 becomes part of the largest child advocacy organization in the state with more
than 600,000 members across Texas.
Join Us!
Membership is open to anyone concerned with the education, health and welfare of
children and youth. Student members for a PTSA must be in the 9th grade or above.
Get Involved
Get involved for your children and for your community. Studies have shown that
membership in PTA provides your child and other children around you with a greater
chance of achieving in school. As a PTA member, you are more likely to be an
informed, involved parent. Learn ways to keep children safe and involved in school. PTA
is the place to gain that knowledge.
Contact your Local PTA or Texas PTA at 800-TALK-PTA for more information.
