Press Room

The Press Room is a one-stop-shop for reporters and PTA members that need to find the latest on PTA news, events, and programs. Download a press kit, including PTA quick facts, logos, and biographies and photos of our leaders. Also view featured articles on education, parenting, and other emerging issues in our In the News section.

The Press Room's most recent addition—“Noticias”—is PTA’s Spanish press room. It’s also a one-stop-shop for Spanish language media and PTA members that want Spanish press materials, as well as the latest on PTA’s initiatives in the Hispanic community.
