Dr. Betty J. Handy

Development Director

“Serving at The City School has always been my pleasure!  As a long-time parent, I have walked alongside this school for many years, as we have grown–with the Lord ordering each of our steps.  My children thrive here and my husband and I love that they attend a school where Jesus is central to the curriculum and mission.  As the Development Director, I am blessed to be in a position to facilitate the advancement of this excellent school!”

Betty lives just outside of Philadelphia with her husband and 2 children.  She has served The City School as its Major Gifts officer for the last 2 1/2 years, supporting the growth of our school program and as head of the Home & School Association for 4 years.  Previously, she was a higher education administrator at a local college for over 10 years, acclimating high school students to the college environment.  She currently holds a Doctorate in Higher Education Leadership with plans to lead a college or university in the not-so-distant future. In her free time, she enjoys reading, fitness, travel and spending time with her family.
