About Tony Graham
I was born in Fayetteville, NC and moved to High Point, NC at the ripe old age of 2 years old. During my educational upbringing, I had the esteemed fortune of attending Wesleyan Day Care, Christ the King Catholic School, Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School, Northeast Middle School (formerly Northeast Junior High, now A. Laurin Welborn Middle School) and T. Wingate Andrews High School.
During this period, I attend church at Christ the King Catholic Church and was very active in several youth organizations such as a founder member of the Ebony Heritage Club at Andrews, Top Teens of America and the Kappa Beautillion, to name a few. I mention this to only speak to needs of “access and exposure” to our youth and their families. This is a true passion of mine…delivering access to those who do not have the means, especially our disproportionately excluded Black citizens.
After Andrews, I attended North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University later obtaining my B.S. in Accounting from the University of South Alabama in Mobile, AL. In Mobile, I worked a failed re-election campaign of Thomas Sullivan but gained a wealth of knowledge about how to approach a campaign. It would take me 49 years to tell you all about me but here are some things you may not know:
You Might Not Know
- I am a son, dad, granddad, family man, friend, mentor and community advocate
- I have several years of accounting experience but now I teach middle school math
- I grew up in the “village concept” and understand the need and how to get back to this concept
- I currently serve as our branch’s Education Chair and will continue to make this a top priority
- Continuing my role as a co-advisor for the Youth Branch, we will work with our youth and adult branches to find ways for us to better connect and build with each other
- I am a Co-Founder of Uniting Black Men for Change, the Piedmont Tigers Youth Football and Cheer (through Elite Performance Sports NC)
- Assisted with the establishment and/or operations of several local non-profits
- Connected dozen of individuals and/or organizations through “like-minded” assessments
I FULLY SUPPORT Ken Watts’ candidacy as our next Branch President as I feel we must support and guide our younger generation’s willingness and ability to serve our community. WE MUST EMPOWER THEM TO DO SO!!
I would appreciate your support of me as your next Branch 1st Vice President
