Supporting, Advocating for, and Representing Teachers

Welcome to the Palm Springs Teachers Association (PSTA) website. PSTA is a chartered chapter of the California Teachers Association (CTA) and an affiliate of the National Education Association (NEA). Our union membership includes over 1,200 certificated individuals from Palm Springs Unified School District. They are making a difference in the lives of students by being classroom teachers, early childhood educators, teacher-librarians, teachers on special assignment, and more.  PSTA's mission is to support and advocate for teachers in order to help provide high quality public education for the students of Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Desert Hot Springs, Thousand Palms and Rancho Mirage.
