Welcome to the Cabin John Middle School PTSA
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit volunteer organization, dedicated to making a difference in the education and quality of life at Cabin John Middle School. Our PTSA is a member of the Montgomery County Council of PTAs, the FreeState PTA, and the National PTA, which advocates on our behalf at the county, state, and federal levels.
Our objective is to engage and empower the CJMS community by working alongside staff, students, and families to support academic achievement, enrich school life, and build a strong, connected community. We also serve as an advocate on behalf of our families for decisions that impact educational experience and issues of concern for our community.
