Description
The National PTA Life Achievement Award honors an individual who puts their commitment to children into practice every day. National PTA describes it as its highest honor and an “award of a lifetime.” Its purpose is to recognize sustained personal dedication to children, rather than to fund research, science, or a specific project.
The award is part of National PTA’s year-round awards-and-grants offerings. This broader portfolio recognizes or supports PTAs in engaging families, supporting student success, improving student and family health and safety, expanding access to arts education, and celebrating advocacy and diversity. Within that portfolio, the Life Achievement Award focuses specifically on an individual’s dedication to children.
