Peggy Fry
KHS Office Manager
I am the Office Manager at both Kennedy and Richmond High School. I started at TechFutures as a temporary employee in July 2004 and became instantly fascinated with the program and the opportunity that TechFutures is giving to the high school students in the West Contra Costa School District. I realized that I really wanted to be part of this amazing organization almost immediately. That became possible in October of 2004. My job entails maintaining supplies, such as food and office equipment. I keep track of attendance, answer the phone, general office duties, and also do the snack shopping for both schools. I maintain all office supplies and keep the equipment running smoothly. I support the teachers and the students with what ever they need.
I moved to Richmond with my 5 children 21 years ago and lived here until my husband and I were married 5 years later. I started working as a Secretary at Bank of America in San Francisco and then transferred to the Securities department as an Operations Assistant, settling trades on the bond/muni’s desk. After 14 years of working at Bank of America my job was transferred to a different city. I took a little time off and enjoyed my grandkids for a while. After a short stay at home I started working at Bank of the West as an Administrative Assistant in the Trust Department, and the Mortgage Department.
Working with various institutions and having contact with various people with different personalities and back ground has helped me in my career.
I feel honored being part of this non profit organization. It is very fulfilling to watch the students grow and learn.
