Gerald Guerrant is a beloved member of the East English Village Preparatory Academy staff.
A math teacher and assistant coach for the EEV football team, he has been a student favorite dating to 2012 when the school opened.
Guerrant grew up on the east side of Detroit and graduated from Northwestern High School in 1995. During high school, he participated in football, volleyball and track.
After high school, Guerrant attended Columbia University in New York and majored in mathematics and African Studies. He graduated in 1999.
Guerrant said he enjoys helping kids learn and putting smiles on their faces.
“I’ve always wanted to become a teacher and help the community that molded me into the man I am today,” Guerrant said.
In his free time, he volunteers with his wife’s organization, Doors of Success Foundation, which provides various community service opportunities and resources to many of EEV’s students. Doors of Success has donated food and clothes to several families in the community and coordinated trips to provide services for the less fortunate.
