PTA logoThe Best Resource for Parents
National PTA is the oldest and largest volunteer association working exclusively on behalf of all children and youth. For more than 100 years, National PTA has promoted the education, health, and safety of children and families. It was founded in 1897 in Washington, DC, and has, over the years, united parents, teachers, and community members of all races and backgrounds to serve all children and youth.

The National PTA was created to meet a profound challenge: to better the lives of child advocatechildren. PTA has flourished because it has never lost sight of its goal to improve the lives of children across our great nation.  As the largest volunteer child advocacy association in the nation, Parent Teacher Association (PTA) reminds our country of its obligations to children and provides parents and families with a powerful voice to speak on behalf of every child while providing the best tools for parents to help their children be successful students.

PTA membership is open to anyone who believes in the Mission and Purposes of National PTA. Individual members may belong to more than one local PTA unit. Every person who joins a local PTA unit automatically becomes a member of both the state and National PTAs.

PTA does not act alone. Working in cooperation with many national education, health, safety, and child advocacy groups and federal agencies, the national PTA organization collaborates on projects that benefit children and that bring valuable resources to its members.

PTA Structure: From Washington to YOU!

Branches of the National PTA have been established in all 50 United States, the District of Columbia, U.S. Virgin Islands, and in schools for American dependents in Europe and the Pacific area.

CAPTA:  The California State PTA (California Congress of Parents, Teachers, and Students, Inc.) is a branch of the National PTA, serving as a connecting link between the national organization and its membership within the state.

12th District:  District PTAs are geographical divisions of the California State PTA, established to carry out its programs. All PTA districts organized after July 1, 1980, are required to have number designations.  Our 12the District stretches north to Ventura and South to Calabassas and Oak Park.

Camarillo Council:  Councils of PTAs/PTSAs are created by the California State PTA for the purpose of conference, leadership training, and coordination of efforts of the member units.  Our Council includes Camarillo High School PTSA.

La Mariposa PTA:  Unit PTAs are organized and chartered in conformity with rules and regulations as prescribed in the bylaws of the California State PTA. These units are self-governing bodies for the purpose of planning programs and activities to meet local community needs. However, they are required to observe policies of the California State PTA and/or National PTA.

La Mariposa PTA is a Unit PTA Organization reporting to the Camarillo PTA Council under the 12th District PTA for the State of California.
