Howard County
Retired School Personnel Association
Serving HCPSS Retirees Since 1975
WELCOME! We are glad that you have landed on our HEART website. Whether you are newly retired from Howard County Public School System (HCPSS), have been retired for any number of years, or maybe retirement is in your near future, HEART is the association for you!​
HEART works to protect your biggest retirement assets - your pension and health benefits. HEART sends representatives to Annapolis to protect your rights. HEART provides a quarterly newsletter to you to keep you informed. HEART offers four general meeting luncheons that allow you to socialize with fellow retirees and keep you informed of the current issues. HEART has professional representatives who negotiate with the Board of Education for better retirement benefits. HEART also awards scholarships to worthy graduates pursuing a career in education.
​
​HEART is your local association and is affiliated with Maryland Retired School Personnel Association (MRSPA). We encourage you, as a HCPSS retiree, to lend your support and join both organizations.
