The Texas PTA
Family & Student Engagement
Impact Award
PTA’s mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
The Texas PTA Family & Student Engagement Impact Award recognizes PTAs that go above and beyond to strengthen family and student engagement. These PTAs foster meaningful connections, remove barriers to participation, and ensure their work is mission-driven and accessible in membership leadership, program content, advocacy, training, partnerships, and communications.
One Council PTA and one Local PTA will be selected as the Overall Family & Student Engagement Impact Award winners and receive a digital certificate and on-stage recognition at LAUNCH.
