For Steven Washington ’86, perseverance has led to achievement. While growing up in Wilmington, Delaware, it seemed that the odds were stacked against him. Yet, perseverance helped mold him into a leader as early as elementary school where he served as class president of the 4th, 5th and 6th grades at Charles B. Lore Elementary School. It served him again when he was faced with helping to desegregate the predominately-white McKean High School in 1979. Mr. Washington was able to rise above the anti-busing demonstrations to be nominated and elected as Vice President of the high school’s student government association and later President of the school’s Human Relations Council. During his high school career, he played and lettered in football, basketball and tennis. While attending Norfolk State, Mr. Washington majored in physical education and was a walk-on basketball player for the Spartans. After graduating in 1986, Mr. Washington worked for the city of Wilmington four and half years before starting his career in education. He has worked in education for 28 years and currently serves as a Special Education teacher in the Brandywine School District. Mr. Washington’s community service includes founding and serving as president of the NSUAA Delaware Chapter and the HBCU Delaware Coalition Inc. He serves on the Wilmington Housing Authority Board of Commissioners as well as produces and hosts the show, “HBCU Delaware Talks.” Mr. Washington is an ordained deacon at Mount Zion Greater Harvest Ministries and is the recipient of the Humanitarian Award from the National Coalition of 100 Black Women Inc., Pennsylvania Chapter. In 2003, he received a master’s degree in reading and secondary education from Arcadia University.
