The Alberta Middle School Association (AMSA) was established in 1993. In 2005, The Alberta Middle School Association, an affiliate of the AMLE, changed its name and organization.
The Middle Years Council of the Alberta Teachers' Association (ATA) began official operation at its inaugural conference, April 28-30, 2005 in Edmonton, Alberta.
The council has continued its affiliation with AMLE and is hopeful that being connected to the ATA will make the council an even stronger voice for middle years teachers and students in Alberta.
