PTAs Awards 2006-2007
Outstanding
Local Unit (for all PTAs in Plano ISD)
Outstanding Elementary School PTA
Each of the 67 schools in Plano
has a PTA. All of the PTAs belong to the Plano ISD
Council of PTAs. Each year, the Council puts on a
training day and awards one elementary and secondary
school with the award of "PISD Outstanding PTA".
Huffman won that award.Then,
the council awards one other award – it is the PISD
Outstanding Local Unit – which means,
the best PTA in the
whole district and Huffman won that, too!
