PTA Vision
Making every child's potential a reality.

PTA 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 Values

Commitment:
We are dedicated to promoting children’s health,
well-being, and educational success through
strong parent, family, and community involvement.
PURPOSE OF THE PTA

  • To promote the welfare of the children and
    youth in home, school, community, and
    place of worship.
  • To raise the standards of home life.
  • To secure adequate laws for the care and
    protection of children and youth.
  • To bring into closer relation the home and
    the school, that parents and teachers may
    cooperate intelligently in the education of
    children and youth.
  • To develop between educators and the
    general public such united efforts as will
    secure for all children and youth the highest
    advantages in physical, mental, social, and
    spiritual education.
  • The PTA serves as a type of forum where
    parents, teachers, administrators, and other
    concerned adults discuss ways to promote
    quality education, strive to expand the arts,
    encourage community involvement, and
    work for a healthy environment and safe
    neighborhoods.
