New Jersey PTA is pleased to announce that North Hunterdon High School PTSA has been recognized as the recipient of a special Award of Merit in membership and recruitment at the
NJPTA 118th Convention Awards Celebration held on March 23, 2019. North Hunterdon High School PTSA was recognized for its outstanding contribution to improve the lives of the children at their school. North Hunterdon High School PTSA is one of the 600 PTAs across the state.
“New Jersey’s PTAs continue to strive for the children of New Jersey. They are committed to making every child’s potential a reality,” said Rose Acerra, President of New Jersey PTA. “We are pleased to recognize the leadership and dedication of North Hunterdon High School PTSA. This PTA is making a significant contribution to PTA, their school and community.”
North Hunterdon High School PTSA committed to make their PTSA compliant with NJPTA. A PTSA is a special kind of PTA that not only has parents (P) and teachers (T) as members but also students (S). Their PTSA involved more students as members and grew membership by 94% in a six-month time-span. A PTSA brings a unique outlook to PTA by involving the students’ perspective to the school’s PTA. The membership increase shows that students can make a significant impact on the PTA.
“This special award was given out for a remarkable push to increase PTA membership. Local PTAs bring amazing, innovative programs and services to children and families every day,” said Rose Acerra, President of New Jersey PTA, “and we are honored to recognize and celebrate their achievements.”
