Department of Defense Education Activity

Welcome Message

Welcome to DoDEA Headquarters (HQ), and congratulations on your position!  Whether you are coming from the field or from outside of the agency, your experience and talents are welcome additions to Headquarters.

As members of DoDEA HQ, we have an important role to play in fulfilling DoDEA’s mission to Educate, Engage, and Empower each student to succeed in a dynamic world. As a headquarters staff, we support all facets of pre-kindergarten through 12th grade education and the support operations necessary to run a world-wide school system.

Your first few months at Headquarters are naturally a time you will be getting to know your job, your team, and the students we serve. It is also an important time to learn about and enroll in your benefits and learn the ins and outs of working as a civilian employee for the Department of Defense (DoD).  As a new or transferring employee, you have a number of resources available to you. The material in this Knowledge Base is intended to serve as a tool for you as you begin your work here.

Thank you for joining us here at DoDEA Headquarters as we work to make DoDEA one of the finest systems of public education.
