- Jeff Shu (Educator and Parent) – A 20-year middle school veteran, Jeff spent a summer knocking on doors as a ground-level CAPE community organizer before joining the Executive Board. A Hokie as an undergrad, he earned a master’s degree in English from UNCG as well as NBCT certification. In his free time plays honky tonk in a regional band when he’s not chasing after his 19 and 16-year-old daughters or working on his wife’s honey-do list. He came to teaching to change the world, and fights for social justice in North Carolina public schools.
