George Stewart, an Educator Discusses The Importance of Joining Your Local PTA

George Stewart II has dedicated his life to community/public service. His community service journey started in college where he became a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. Through his fraternity work, George has been able to touch the lives of many people through various community service projects.

Shortly after graduation, George moved to Houston, TX. There he began his career in education. George started as a teacher's aide and worked his way up to becoming a full-time certified teacher. Becoming a D.A.T.E. Grant recipient is George's biggest teaching accomplishment to date.

When George is not educating his students on the various important events in history, he is heavily involved in the PTA. As president, he and his executive board are responsible for planning parent outreach events, fund raising events, and membership drives.

In addition to teaching, George uses writing as another vehicle to get his voice heard. Through his writing, he hopes to encourage and motivate people to get involved in their community, shed light on the education system as he sees it, and educate men and women on how to develop and maintain healthy relationships. His work has been featured on sites such as, theblackmancan.org, mybrotha.com, suite101.com, thefreshxpress.com, and blackcommentator.com.

Family is very important to George. His perspective regarding the topic “the black man and family” has been highly sought after, as he has done numerous interviews on this topic.
