John H. Hewlett III

Dr. Hewlett is a graduate of Hampton University and received his Doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania.  Dr. Hewlett's contributions to the West Chester Community are too numerous to mention.  He was the Director of Human Resources for the West Chester Area School District.  Early in his career, Dr. Hewlett taught science at Henderson High School and coached track & field.  We sometimes think that our accomplishments are solely our own.  We forget that no one gets anywhere without the help of many people; some of whom we will never know, yet they are there when we need them the most.  They unselfishly work behind the scenes to open the doors of opportunity for those who might never get an opportunity.  When we reflect upon how far we have come along life's winding road, let us not forget those like John Hewlett who soften the curves and level the hills, and fix our vision on the grander prize at the end of the journey.
