Who We Step Up For: Colleen Ritzer
Colleen Ritzer, a lifelong resident of Andover knew from a young age she wanted to be a teacher. As a 2007 graduate of Andover High School and a 2011 graduate of Assumption College, she pursued her dream to become a high school math teacher.
Colleen spent countless hours finding unique and creative ways to inspire and teach her students, who she loved. She quickly became a popular and beloved math teacher at Danvers High School who continues to inspire students and teachers alike to this day.
