2023-2024 WSPTA Awards of Excellence & Membership Growth Awards

Awards of Excellence

​Each year, Washington State PTA recognizes the work of individuals, PTAs, and Councils across the state via a variety of awards, including Leadership Academy and the Awards of Excellence Program. Ruby Bridges Elementary PTSA, Woodinville High School PTSA, and Northshore Council PTSA submitted applications and were recognized for their efforts at the 2024 WSPTA Annual Convention and Business Meeting held on May 17th - 19th.

Awards work to celebrate the efforts of local PTAs and Councils in a variety of different areas. The criteria reflect a strong knowledge and application of best practices and the submission process can be rigorous. These awards are truly reflective of the dedication and strength of these PTAs and the powerful contributions they make to their communities.

Congratulations to all!
