17th District PTA – Home

Welcome to the website for the California Seventeenth District PTA! The 17th District PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) is a part of the California State PTA, the oldest and largest statewide nonprofit volunteer organization dedicated to working on behalf of issues that affect children and families. PTA was founded by volunteers in 1897 and remains today a strong non-partisan and non-commercial voice for children and families. PTA speaks on behalf of over six million members nationwide, almost one million of which come from California.
Founded in 1927, 17th District PTA represents nearly 20,000 PTA members in San Mateo County. We oversee 98 units that are a part of 7 councils and 6 out-of-council areas, and serve as the link between them and State and National PTA, providing resources, training, and leadership assistance to our units and councils.
