Mary Potter moved to Philadelphia after college graduation as a Teach For America corps member where she taught high school English. From there, Mary relocated to Chicago where she continued to work in the education space as both a high school teacher and for a school based non-profit working with CPS staff and students. From the education space, Mary transitioned to work with a handful of Chicago faith-based nonprofits in development, program planning, outreach and event planning. In 2020, Mary and her family moved back to the Aurora area which is where Mary grew up. She and her family live in Sugar Grove and attend Village Bible Church there. Mary and Hap have 4 kids; 3 of them attend ACS and they love to be outside, watch and play sports, travel, and cook for friends and family. Mary is thrilled to be working in a school again - especially one that means so much to her and her family.
