ALUMNI PROFILE
Alumni Share Passion for Giving Back Service takes many forms. Here are a few alumni who have found a way to make service part of their lives. ELIZABETH TERRY ’06
Imagine Hope Community Charter School Elizabeth Terry ’06 is a Special Education Teacher for third and fourth graders in a self-contained classroom at Imagine Hope Community Charter School in Washington, D.C. She says that advocating and teaching others to advocate for themselves is her calling. “I have always been in environments that value service and those experiences, accentuated by my St. Andrew’s experience, have given me the drive to serve students who experience disadvantageous conditions in their education (lower income communities and people with disabilities),” Terry said. “I experienced great privileges in my education and it is important for me to use that experience to give back as much as I can. “My experiences at St. Andrew’s (especially learning to write as well as I did) helped me be an effective advocate for my students for the last three years, culminating in the creation of much more robust Special Education department at my school and charter network.”
