TEACH board chairman Dr. Rainey Knight says she is delighted to have Newman join the Foundation’s Board of Directors.

“Dr. Newman is an excellent addition to the board. I’m excited about the ideas and experience he brings,” said Knight.

The TEACH Foundation was formed in 2011 with the assumption that multiple entities with unique resources can together inspire and improve academic outcomes and personal development of students. The Board of Directors represents a unique collaboration of the private and public sectors. It is comprised of community members and representatives of the four key partners of PULSE, the Darlington County School District, Coker College, SC Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics, and Sonoco.

In addition to Newman and Knight, the TEACH Foundation Board is represented by Reginald Alford, Gloria Bell, Nique Knockemus, Kimberly Nelson, Dr. Tracy Parkinson, Randy LaCross, and Yvonne (Von) Cranford.
