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. Please check back periodically, the list will be updated throughout the year as more schools become certified.

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.
