A teacher affects eternity:  He can never tell where his influence stops.
Henry Adams

The Henry County (Georgia) Retired Educators Association is a local unit of the Georgia Retired Educators Association established in 1958.  HCREA was established in Henry County, Georgia, in 1970.  We are a growing force with over 325 members locally and 800+ members in the GREA organization!  "Fellowship..Support..Service" is our motto.  Members of HCREA/GREA are afforded the opportunity of benefits such as lower rates on dental and vision insurance, long-term care insurance, and travel opportunities to name a few. GREA and its members are the active voice for all retired educators with the Georgia state legislature and the Teacher Retirement System of Georgia.
