Tim Kerrigan:  

After Graduation from OHS in 1963, I took a year off and lived in Palm Desert. There I met Cheryl White from Twenty Nine Palms. We married the following year, and then went off to live in San Diego, where I graduated from San Diego State University with High Honors and an award for the Best Student In the Department of Education. (Who knew i would every be a student!) After Graduation, we moved to Northern California, where I took a job as an 8yh Grade teacher of English and American History in San Mateo. We had three daughters (Jennifer, Heather and Erin) in the next 6 years, all three with variations of red hair. I did a stent as a elementary teacher of grade 4 and then on to a new school to become a school librarian. I also obtained an MLS and a MPA from San Jose State University. I served as President, Vice President and Treasurer of the San Mateo Elementary Teacher's Association. Unfortunately at this time, my marriage failed and we divorced. Fortunately I am still friendly with Cheryl and we did a good job of rasing our children. Eventually I became an Assistant Principal at Borel Middle School in San Mateo. After three years, I was awarded a Principalship of Foster City Elementary School, one of the largest elementary schools in California. After several years there, I was chosen to be the Principal of a new school to be built in Foster City. I was given a year to plan the school and to oversee the building of it. Brewer Island Elementary School is a school of choice and we established a fine arts curriculum and ethics-based curricula second-to-none. I remarried another teacher, Mary Jo, who also taught in Foster City and we remain married today after over 34 years....Expand for more
