Who We Are
We are a Teacher Union representing the educators of the Centennial School District in Portland, Oregon. We have over 6,000 students under our care.
Our Mission
Empowering Educators
Educators deserve ensure strong, fair contracts with school districts and employers so they can focus on what they do best - educating students.
Prioritizing Safe Classrooms
We're committed to helping create safe, welcoming and inclusive school environments through professional learning, policy advocacy, and organizing.
Diversifying the Workforce
Fighting for tools and resources to increase the number of BIPOC educators, so that our schools better reflect the communities they serve
Championing Equity For All
Each student and educator, whether black, brown, or white, must have every opportunity to be the best they can be.
Supporting Professional Growth
Providing and connecting educators to opportunities for continuing education in our professions to best serve students.
Take Part
Educators are stronger together. When it comes to contract negotiations, salaries and benefits, workplace protections, and improving learning and working conditions, a stronger union means we’re working from a position of strength.
As individuals, we have a limited impact on decisions that are made in our districts. Coming together as members of a strong union is the best way to have a seat at the table to fight for students and good working conditions.
