Meet the Author: 

Dr. Terry J. Flowers serves as the Perot Family Headmaster of St. Philip's School and Community Center, where he started in service as principal in 1983. Dr. Flowers grew up on Chicago's South Side, ultimately finding a calling to work with young children. The titles of his three master's degrees attest to his commitment to education: Early Childhood Education (University of Northern Iowa), Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Administration (Columbia University). He also completed a doctorate in Education at the Teacher's College of Columbia University in 1995. 

His experiences as an educator in tough urban communities shaped his belief in the need for holistic efforts to address the erosion of inner-city neighborhoods. Dr. Flowers leadership led to the establishment of curriculum for St. Philip's which emphasizes academic excellence, a positive self-image and a faith-based focus for life. Alongside the strong academic program is a multi-faceted community center offering a wealth of social services and community development activities.
