Anderson has always been an out-of-the box,
If this story tells nothing else, it certainly
highlights the effective merge of faith and
education, laced with the willingness to step into
unchartered territory to change the life of one
young person. John 3:16 states, “For God so loved
the word, that He GAVE His only begotten Son…”
and this is the mantra, the favorite scripture of this
Gospel preacher and educator who is unapologetic
in his quest to continue expanding technological
programs. Get involved and connect to STEM
programs in the local Memphis area. It is clear:
Reverend Anderson and the systematic network
of STEM Charter Schools have become a beacon
of light and hope for the Frayser community.
“This is why I continue to push. These programs
are not just in the community to say that they are in
the community – these programs are designed and
enhanced operationally to take our communities to
the next dimension.

We are renovating our facilities consistently
to ensure that our children have the best in
technology and programs. When kids feel
smart, they perform better and make better
choices out of life. I refuse to let youn
people hang behind when we have the
opportunity to forge them forward”, states
Reverend Anderson.
So - you wonder why such a man who stands as
Anthony Anderson must be celebrated and called
a hero? Well, the answer is clear: he wears the
invisible cape that we see on most heroes. He is
the unsung politician and educational force who
has decided to change the lives of youth with
first-class magnitude. He is an original thought
processor and creativity is what he has learned to
embrace to use as the vantage point of impacting
those who dream of a destiny beyond their
current environment.
