February 17, 1897
Each year on February 17th, PTA reflects on the value of PTA by:
Remembering its founders: Alice McClellan Birney, Selena Sloan Butler and Phoebe Apperson Hearst
Renewing our commitment to being a powerful voice for all children; a relevant resource for parents; and a strong advocate for public education
In 2025, we celebrate 128 years of working on behalf of children and families. Today’s PTA is vibrant and active and includes a network of millions of families, students, teachers, and community members advocating for all children, youth, and families.

Contact your local school's PTA to become a PTA member or to make a donation today! A portion of the membership fee will go to California State PTA (CAPTA) to help fund grants and scholarships. If you don't have a student in a local school but you would like to make a donation, please contact La Habra Council of PTAs.
