The Sussex County Education Association (SCEA) represents teachers and education support professionals who work in Sussex County public schools. Our goal is to work with national, state, and local affiliates to advance and protect the rights, benefits, and interests of all members and advocate for a quality system of public education for all students in Sussex County.  The Association’s NJEA UniServ office is Region 28.

The public school system in Sussex County offers a thorough and efficient education for children between the ages of five and eighteen years (grades K–12), as required by state constitution through nine local and regional public high school districts, and twenty public primary or elementary school districts.  Several of the County’s schools are highly ranked by both state and federal education departments; some of which have achieved the U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon School award.
