My Father's Faith
Dr. Jacqueline M. Gaither Respress
When the Superintendent of the New Castle Area School District announced the appointment of Dr. Jacqueline Respress as Principal of a combined New Castle Junior/Senior High School, it would be the first time in the District’s 150-year history that a female has been chosen to lead the senior high school, and the first time an African American has reached this pinnacle.
In her new book, “My Father’s Faith,” author Dr. Jacqueline M.
Gaither Respress blends personal narratives, research on education and
spirituality, quotes and scriptures to map out a hopeful path for anyone
experiencing obstacles in life.
“No one should permit race, gender or economic standing to restrict
their life,” said Dr. Respress. “In spite of the outward tests, the
strength to go on is hidden within each of us.”
