Inspired By Excellence & Innovation
United in the pursuit of excellence for Hawaiʻi’s public schools.
What does HSTA do?
The Hawaiʻi State Teachers Association is the exclusive representative of 13,000+ public school teachers statewide. As the state affiliate of the 3-million member National Education Association, HSTA represents and supports teachers in collective bargaining, as well as with legislative and professional development issues.
For HSTA, it is about more than getting a better deal for teachers – it’s about putting teachers in the driver’s seat, where they have a chance to make education better.
