ABOUT THE STRIPLING MIDDLE SCHOOL PTA

Thank you for your interest in learning more about the Stripling Middle School PTA.

The vision of the SMS PTA is to engage, encourage, empower and support the students of Stripling Middle School. Our overarching goal is to make every student’s potential a reality. We strive to provide the utmost educational, meaningful, and memorable experience imaginable for all students at Stripling. We do this through a variety of committees, annual events, fundraising and campus improvements.

The SMS PTA is a member of the National PTA, Texas PTA, and the FWISD Council of PTAs.

WHO IS IN THE PTA
