WSPTSA Awards of Excellence
The purpose of the Local PTA Awards of Excellence program is to celebrate the work PTAs do to make a difference for their communities. Awards and programs also help build awareness of the WSPTA mission and focus. When local PTAs are recognized for the work they are doing, it builds pride in the community and helps people connect with PTA!

The Outstanding PTA of the Year Award identifies and honors those PTAs that, when compared to all others in their unique environment and within their own special circumstances, are the most representative examples of PTAs that exemplify the purposes and mission of PTA. There are three categories: Elementary and Secondary/Community PTA/Council.

The Standards of Excellence Award is a tool that encourages the use of the best practices of PTA management. It guides our PTA to be child focused, responsible to your members, fiscally responsible, knowledgeable, involved, and well trained.
