Meet Our Climate Manager
Mr. Charles Richards
Hello Steel Family,
My name is Charles Richard, and I am excited to be working with you. I am stepping into the role as your Climate Manager. Previously, I have served at Steel as a Climate Liaison. I have worked in the field of Behavioral health for over 20 years and in education for 8 years. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Theology and a Master’s degree in Religion and Ethical Leadership. He will be graduating in the spring of 2023 with a second Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I intend on pursuing a doctoral degree in education.
I’m from Jamaica by way of Newark, New Jersey. I am married and have five children, 1 girl and 4 boys. As a family we enjoy traveling and dining out. Personally I enjoy reading and learning.
I love children and believe that with the right support, all students can strive for achievement and achieve post secondary success. I am the product of public education and credit my success to the community of educators who poured into my life. I believe in making an impact wherever I go and leaving a legacy that future generations can enjoy. If you have any questions or concerns throughout the year do not hesitate to call the main office or contact me by email at crichards@philasd.org.
Sincerely,
Mr. Richards
