National PTA would like to recognize all
schools that have participated in the certification process
and received a Certification of Excellence in parent
and family involvement. We encourage all Schools of Excellence
to provide support or serve as mentors to schools who have
received the Recognition of Commitment distinction.
Certification of Excellence Schools by
State
All states are listed by their two letter
abbreviation. ECAPTS = European Congress, PCPTS = Pacific
Congress and USVI = U. S. Virgin Islands. If your state's link
contains no information, there are no Schools of Excellence in
your state at this time.
If your school is listed as certified but has not yet received a notification packet in the mail, this is due to a time delay in processing applications. Please allow 1 to 2 weeks from the date listed on our website for your notification to arrive.
Schools marked with ± are PTA schools.
