What is PTSA?
We are Bridging the Gap
The Discovery Cluster PTA units of Alford ES, Baggett ES, Benefield ES, Cedar Hill ES, Richards MS and Discovery HS have joined forces. Together, we are making efforts to support each school in its Educational, Fundraising, and Spirit activities.
Together we are stronger!
With many families in the Discovery Cluster having students in multiple schools, we are working to create stress-free scheduling of events and reaching out to parents to join and support the PTA units in the Discovery Cluster. We are collaborating on events and request that you join our team as educational advocates.

Membership is open to everyone.
