A Message from the President: Greetings from the School Zone!

May 20, 2024

Aloha!

A single teacher can make a world of difference and transform the lives of so many students. In our role as educators, we can see the potential in students that they may not see in themselves. We can help students uncover and embrace what they have to offer and put them
on a positive path.

Promising High School Students
I am always amazed at high school students who grasp the impact they can have as educators and want to pursue teaching as a career. The TAAC projects that received HEA/Pi Lambda Theta-Beta Zeta Hawaii Chapter grants all showcase the enthusiasm our high schoolstudents have for teaching. They give us hope for the future. See pages 3 and 4.

Ongoing Support for Educators
HEA is also committed to helping seasoned teachers sustain their passion for teaching. We provide support for new or mid-career educators who are seeking ways to be more effective educators and are committed to professional development. I hope HEA members and others in Hawaii’s education community take advantage of all these exciting programs.

Mahalo for your ongoing support of HEA!

Joan Kamila Lewis
Board President
