Dear Colleagues,

Greetings and Welcome to the HCTA Web Page. We are very excited about this new medium for communication with you, our members. Our goal is to keep our members informed regarding the current educational issues that affect us everyday and provide a forum for growth and development. This site will provide you with links to educational web sites, current activities and events, as well as information for professional growth. It is our intention to re-energize the membership, and foster greater unity of purpose and action.

As unionists, adversity and struggle is not news to us; it is the essence of our labor history. We remain optimistic, however, that despite economic and political roadblocks, nay Sayers, fence-sitters, well-meaning "friends" and the occasional detractor, each one of us plan to make a positive difference in a child and/or a colleague's life. Let's stick to the plan- TOGETHER.

A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.
Henry Brooks Adams

In Unity,
Dawn Sherwood
President, HCTA
