About Texas Middle School Association (TMSA)
 Since 1975, Texas Middle School Association (TMSA) has been the state's premiere association for middle level educators.
We are a voluntary, nonprofit, statewide educational association that serves and represents Texas educators, administrators, children and parents... anyone who works with children ages 11-15.
Our mission is to promote the implementation of student-centered programs and highly effective practices by providing vision, knowledge, and resources which meet the unique individual needs of adolescents in an ever-changing society.
The Texas Middle School Association envisions all middle level students as fulfilled, productive, and healthy citizens of their communities and of a global society.
Through our Annual Conference and Exhibit, workshops, newsletters, award winning Journal of the Texas Middle School Association, recently enhanced website, online bookstore, and our newly developed Texas Schools to Watch® program, we provide services to more than 15,000 middle level educators annually.

Exhibiting at the Conference
 The TMSA Annual Conference and Exhibit features more than 100 booths. We are the ONLY conference in the state dedicated solely to the middle level educator. As the largest and most exclusive state meeting for interacting face-to-face with decision makers in the middle grades industry (grades 5-9), our exhibitors get a remarkable return on their investment when they exhibit at our conference.
Since our attendee base includes administrators, teachers, counselors and pre-service teachers, exhibiting at our conference is a great opportunity for service centers and school districts as well as for educational companies.
