National PTA’s Phoebe Apperson Hearst Family-School Partnership Awards recognize and celebrate PTAs that are successfully implementing the National Standards for Family-School Partnerships.
There are three levels of recognition:
- The Outstanding Family-School Partnership Award will be given to one local PTA that has excelled in implementing the National Standards, and includes a monetary award of $2,000.
- The Family-School Partnership Award of Excellence will be given to six local PTAs, each representing the best in one of the six National Standards, and includes a monetary award of $500.
- The Family-School Partnership Award of Merit will be given to all PTAs that apply to the awards program, in recognition of their commitment to building partnerships.
Any local, council, district PTA in good standing with the state and national PTAs may apply.
To be considered for an award, a PTA must complete and submit the online application at www.pta.org/hearst or mail in a hard-copy application.
