The ECCC PTA is made up of 35 East Cobb PTAs, whose members are parents, grandparents, students, teachers, principals, school administrators, community members and business partners. East Cobb PTA members have a shared goal that our children receive a high-quality education so that they may reach their highest potential. There are over 28,000 East Cobb PTA members. The ECCC PTA and East Cobb PTAs provide programs to enrich student learning, engage families with their schools, encourage community service, support student health, wellness and safety, and to build welcoming school environments. Interested in participating? Contact the PTA at the school nearest you to find out how to become a member. PTAs welcome family, school, community and business participation to support students and schools.
