FOOTHILLS REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Foothills Regional High School Retirement Academy
​
​
Money Doesn't have to be rocket science, we can help simplify it.
​
Foothills Regional High School knows that you value knowledge and learning. Even so, far too many of our employees don't fully understand or utilize their retirement plan benefits.
​
That's why we are providing the Foothills Retirement Academy for all employees. This online curriculum is designed to help improve your financial knowledge so you have a better understanding of how to maximize your benefits and save for retirement.
​
Easy to Use
​
The Foothills Retirement Academy is quick, easy to use and available 24/7. The three courses only take about 15 - 20 minutes each to complete, and you'll find lots of information about how to enroll in your plan and other steps you can take to start saving, increase your contributions, and more.
​
Developed by PlanMember Services, a financial services company specializing in retirement planning, investment management, and education. The Retirement Academy is an online financial literacy resource that helps employers educate their employees about personal finance, saving investing and other important financial topics. It's a fact that when employees understand the importance of saving for retirement and are financially literate their stress level is reduced, and they are more productive and happier - on and off the job.
ValuTeachers​
​
My name is Benjie Cole, and I am very thankful for the opportunity to partner with Foothills Regional High School and to speak with any and all employees who want to discuss saving for retirement. It is a big decision, one that we all should make as we prepare for life after our teaching careers. I have spent 33 wonderful years in Education serving as a teacher, coach of multiple sports, Assistant Principal, Principal, and Assistant Superintendent. During this time, I have always found value in using the school's available 403 (b) and/or 457 savings options, and I appreciate every opportunity to assist others in making this decision.
I am currently a retirement specialist and have provided literature for your review. I work closely with our Senior Vice President, Seth Hardin, and we are available to assist you. If you have questions, please reach out, and we will gladly assist you with your retirement dreams.
At ValuTeachers, we feel that service is key. Either or both of us are always willing to visit you in person or by phone appointment.

Georgia Retired Educators Association (GRAE)

GRAE began in 1958 as George Retired Teachers Association. The organization has evolved, through forty-seven years of specialization and diversity of education roles, and adopted its current name in 1998 to better describe the membership potential. GRAE continues to be the only organization that concentrates exclusively on the needs of Georgia retired educators. Offers various options for dental, vision, long-term care, cancer, and other benefits for retirees.
