Chris Potter
Candidate for School Board
Manchester Ward 7
Meet Chris
Chris came to Manchester to serve in City Year New Hampshire in 2012, working as a role model and tutor for students at Beech Street Elementary School.
He stayed an additional four years on City Year's staff, helping implement innovative programs like FIRST Robotics and tailored instruction at Parker-Varney School. At Parker-Varney, he partnered with teachers and administrators and trained educators on math, literacy, and attendance interventions. Chris worked directly with students facing serious challenges at home.
Inspired by his years working in our schools, Chris is running for school board to ensure all students can grow into strong Manchester citizens.
