On May 22, GNTA and friends gathered at the Westbury Manor to salute our retirees and celebrate GNTA's 75th anniversary. Congratulations to John Liotta (SMS), Diana Murad (SMS) and Esther Weiner (EMB) on their retirement, and we thank them for their years of professionalism and dedication to the children of Great Neck. 

GNTA was founded in 1938, coinciding with the implementation of the New York State tenure laws. For 75 years, GNTA has fought to protect teachers, improve working conditions,  and obtain a fair contract--all conditions necessary to maintain the best educational environment for all.
