Texas Public Schools Week was established in 1950 by the Masonic Grand Lodge of Texas to "show visible support of public education." While the celebration traditionally takes place during the first full week in March each year, to coincide with the March 2, 1836 anniversary of the Texas Declaration of Independence, some districts have chosen to celebrate later in March to avoid conflicts with TAKS testing. This year, the first week of March falls on February 28-March 4, 2011.

Each year TSPRA produces a Celebrate Texas Public Schools kit that gives school districts throughout the state materials to coordinate community involvement programs in conjunction with Texas Public Schools Week. The kit can also be used for convocation, Back to School, homecoming and other celebratory activities. TSPRA's promotional kit is only available as a downloadable file from our website and is available for purchase in November 2010. For more information, click here. 

The theme for the 2011 Celebrate Texas Public Schools program is Education: It's BIGGER Here. Please visit Brady Hull's website to order exclusive CTPS products, including pencils and stickers.
