CAROL HANEY

Revere High School, Dean, Retired

I taught Mathematics at Revere High for 20+ years before assuming the position of RHS Dean.  After 7 years serving as Dean, I retired in 2003.  When I retired, I became what is called, a “community activist” and have served on many non-profit organizations since.  One of these organizations was the Revere Beach Partnership.  In addition, I am a Commissioner on the MA Beaches Commission and was named a “Boston Harbor Hero” in 2013. I have lived in the Point of Pines section of Revere since I was 3 and have always loved the beach.  As a child, my favorite playground was the beach, and it continues to be my favorite place.  When a charette to discuss the improvement of Revere Beach (which had deteriorated over the years) was held, I was thrilled to be a participant.  One of the outcomes of this charette was the formation of the Revere Beach Partnership and I was one of many who joined the organization as a community member.  A few years later, I was asked to be a member of the board and I have been on the board ever since. I have been a daily walker along Revere Beach for about 45 years.  These walks have always been a pleasure. I consider myself so fortunate to have “my beach”.
