Briarlake Elementary

Dekalb County Schools

Briarlake is a National PTA School of Excellence!!!!

We did it! Briarlake has just been named a 2016-18 National PTA School of Excellence! National PTA recognized 173 schools and PTAs representing 31 states and one Department of Defense school in Germany. Out of these 173 schools, there are 14 schools from Georgia and one from DeKalb County...our own Briarlake Elementary!

This award acknowledges our school as a "nationwide leader in developing strong family-school partnerships. The National PTA School of Excellence designation is awarded "when a PTA and school have achieved a high level of family engagement or when a PTA and school have made substantive, positive improvement in families' perceptions by the end of the school year."

Please take a moment to watch a congratulatory video from Laura Bay, National PTA president and stay tuned for news on upcoming celebration plans once our National PTA School of Excellence banner arrives!
