ADVISORY BOARD SPOTLIGHT
Advisory Board Spotlight: Valerie Tharp Byers, EdD
Years on Board: Starting 3rd Year
Position: President; Member of Engagement and Finance Committees
Valerie and her husband, Tim, have been members of St. Edward Catholic Church for nearly 15 years and joined the School community in 2019. A graduate of 13 years of Catholic schooling, Valerie has felt deeply the important impact Catholic education has had upon her life and is grateful for the opportunity to share a faith-based education with her daughter, Samantha.
Valerie holds a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Sam Houston State University and has worked both in higher education instruction and administration. Following the diagnosis of her older son, Will, with Sanfilippo Syndrome in 2015, Valerie transitioned her career from academia to rare disease advocacy. She is currently on the Board of Directors for the Cure Sanfilippo Foundation and is a columnist for BioNews Services. She also volunteers with the SECS Girl Scout Troop. Valerie is excited to use her background in education coupled with her experience in non-profit work to serve the St. Edward Catholic School Community.
