About the PTA

Our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a nonprofit organization that prides itself on being a powerful voice for all children, families and communities, while being a relevant resource and strong advocate for public education.

We are looking for parents, family members, caregivers and teachers/staff to help build the 2026-2027 Parent Teacher Association.

More, now than ever, we could use optimistic, friendly and dedicated people to join and lead our Southgate PTA.
