The mission of PGCEA: Future Teacher Committee is to recruit and serve the National Education Association student members in Prince George’s County. We are committed to establishing a professional relationship with the county’s student members by assisting them with the transition from college to the work force, as well as providing them with a clear understanding of how the teacher’s association and union benefits the public school system.
