Welcome
back! I hope you had a wonderful summer. I’m excited to start the new
year and this new year has brought a new principal at Passages. Ms.
Terrell joined us last week and graciously took a few moments out of her
extraordinarily busy schedule to give us a short interview so that we
could introduce her to you. Without further ado, please meet Ms. Avis
Terrell.
JFS: Can you tell us a little bit about what you were doing before taking the helm at Passages?*
AT:
Before Passages, I was the principal of an all boys school, Urban
Assembly Academy of History and Citizenship for Young men (UAAHC),
located inside the Taft Campus.
JFS: What is your favorite kind of text to read? Where is your favorite place to read?
AT:
My favorite kind of text is fiction, books that create complex, real
characters. My favorite place to read is in the bathroom (lol).
Sometimes it is the only place that I can get some peace.
JFS: What was your favorite book as a teenager?
AT: My favorite book as a teenager…..there were so many! A Catcher in the Rye, Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison and anything by Toni Morrison but my all time favorite is Song of Solomon.
JFS: What do you like to do for fun when you're not reading?
AT: When I’m not reading, I like to watch sports (except golf) and spend time with my children.
*Please note that the questions were shamelessly borrowed from my colleague, Regan Schwartz.
