Two of the Mineola School District’s elementary schools have been designated 2023 to 2025 National PTA Schools of Excellence.
Jackson Avenue School and Meadow Drive School are among 19 schools statewide and 319 nationwide to receive the designation, which stems from a yearlong commitment to strengthen family-school partnerships.
