We're excited to be part of the Credentials to Careers grant initiative, funded by the Iowa Department of Education!
Through a regional partnership with several Green Hills AEA school districts and industry partners, this funding will help expand access to industry-recognized credentials, including FAA Part 107 Drone Certification and OSHA 30-Hour Construction Safety training.
These opportunities will help students build real-world skills, explore high-demand careers, and take meaningful steps toward their futures.
We're proud to be part of this regional effort to strengthen career and technical education and create more opportunities for students across southwest Iowa!
More opportunities. More credentials. More pathways to success! ... See MoreSee Less

Throughout the month of October, we celebrate our four amazing school-based physical therapists who support children, families, and educators across GHAEA!

From Early ACCESS (birth to age 3) to Special Education (ages 3–21), our PTs help children access, participate, and engage in the world around them. By partnering with families, educators, and other service providers, they strengthen the skills and confidence of the adults who support children every day – creating a lasting impact that helps children thrive wherever they learn and grow.

Thank you for the miles you travel, the relationships you build, the expertise you bring, and the difference you make in the lives of children and families across GHAEA! ... See MoreSee Less

Creating safe learning environments isn't something schools do alone – it takes an entire community. 💙

For National Safe Schools Week, Green Hills AEA is proud to share the impact of our safety training efforts over the last five years.

By bringing together educators, mental health professionals, law enforcement, and juvenile court officers, we’ve helped equip hundreds of local leaders with the tools to prevent, intervene, and support:

• 295 trained in Suicide Prevention & Intervention
• 213 trained in Behavioral Threat Assessment & Management
• 196 trained in key Safety Topics

Thank you to everyone who dedicates their time and energy to protecting our schools and supporting our students every single day! ... See MoreSee Less

Over the weekend on World Mental Health Day, we were reminded of the importance of student well-being – and we’re proud to highlight our Green Hills AEA Mental Health Practitioner Team and the life-changing support they bring to Iowa students! 💚

Our team works inside 23 partner school districts and 3 Rising Hope Academies to provide in-school mental health care when students need it most.

Since 2019, our team has grown from 3 to 12 practitioners, helping remove insurance and transportation barriers so students facing anxiety, depression, or anger can focus on learning and thriving.
