Mark Connolly on Education | |
Growing up in Bedford, Mark and his brother were raised by a single mom who worked as a secretary. With money tight, the family moved often. Mark and his brother struggled to adapt to constantly changing schools, but in seventh grade a very special teacher transformed his life, taking the time to help Mark find success academically, a path that would lead to Dartmouth College and an MBA earned at night from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
Throughout these experiences of making a life in New Hampshire, Mark has come to believe individual hard work and determination are crucial to success, but we all need a helping hand. Support and opportunity offered by neighbors and community, good schools, and a strong economy are vital to helping every Granite Stater achieve his or her dreams.
