For 150 years, we’ve been the backbone of Colorado’s public education system—the teachers, counselors, school nurses, bus drivers, paraprofessionals, custodians, food service workers, librarians, office staff, and public school employees who help our students thrive. Our legacy is an unwavering dedication to the success of Colorado’s students. Our commitment extends beyond mere education; it is a steadfast belief that every child, regardless of their background, the color of their skin, or the neighborhood they come from, deserves the opportunity to excel and thrive. We believe that every student should have access to a high-quality education that not only imparts knowledge but also fosters creativity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning. Our legacy over the past 150 years is rooted in this belief: that education is the key to unlocking a brighter future for every child. We are CEA—150 years strong, and together, we will continue to work toward a brighter future for our students. Full Story
