Welcome to the Douglas MacArthur Elementary School Parent Teacher Association!
Our new school, completed in 2023, is opening its doors 80 years after our original building — with eight classrooms — welcomed the children of workers supporting the US war effort at the nearby Naval Torpedo Factory during World War II.
But, it isn’t our building that makes Douglas MacArthur a special place. It is our rich history of community, nurtured — in part — by a robust and active Parent Teacher Association.
Our school motto is: MacArthur Stars shine brightly. Our job is to help make that a reality.
Our PTA’s mission is to foster and support a community focused on achieving academic excellence and well being for each of our students. The collective volunteerism and donations of PTA and community members make annual traditions — such as fun runs, after school enrichment clubs, Field Day, the Spelling Bee, the Reading is Fundamental free book events, the school dance and field trips to the many amazing sites around Alexandria — possible for our students.
The Douglas MacArthur PTA is an all-volunteer group, and we believe no donation of time or money is too small. Our school has grown from humble beginnings to now educating students from around the globe. We view that diversity as a strength and welcome everyone to join!
