Excellent schools are created through the dedication of superintendents, principals, teachers, parents, and community members who are passionate about student success.

The Parent Involvement Schools of Excellence Certification recognizes schools whose parent involvement programs are based on the National Standards for Parent/Family Involvement Programs. The standards, already endorsed by nearly 100 health and education organizations, were created around the six types of parent involvement identified by Joyce L. Epstein, Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University. National PTA's Schools of Excellence Certification establishes the gold standard for parent involvement practices by providing a framework for schools to evaluate themselves.
