The Henrico Education Association is the union representing all employees in Henrico County Public Schools.
We work diligently and collectively to improve student and educator experiences in and out of the classroom.
We battle to protect our members when their rights are violated.
We advocate for change with the school board and HCPS Superintendent Dr. Amy Cashwell.
We are the team you play on, not a service you pay for. YOU are the union!
