In the 1980’s, Magnet Schools of America (MSA) was organized as a for-profit organization, incorporating in the State of Texas, sponsoring conferences. In the early 1990’s, a small group of magnet leaders met and organized an Association of members.  In 1994, MSA was approved by the IRS as a 501(c) 3 not-for profit, professional educational association.   Originally located in Houston, TX , MSA relocated its office to Washington, D.C. in 2000.
