Bill Washington joined HUB in 1966 and worked closely with associate director George Bibbs, to enhance the winter phase of the program. During the early years of the program, the winter phase was held at Miller Junior High School in Detroit, and he drove the bus to gather students.
He developed the HUB newspapers, THE HUB and THE HUBCAP, an informal supplement. Both publications were prepared as part of a journalism course. Bill also cultivated HUB’s relationships with the Williston Northampton School in Easthampton, Massachusetts, the Wyoming Seminary School in Pennsylvania and St. Andrew’s Sewanee School in Tennessee. Each of these institutions agreed to provide a full scholarship to a deserving a HUB student.
He collaborated with the Cranbrook Institute of Science to apply for and receive a grant from the U.S. Department of Education to establish a Math and Science program. This grant allowed the program to serve 50 additional students including students from other cities in Michigan and others from states as far away as Minnesota.
Mr. Washington received a bachelor’s degree from Knoxville College and a master’s degree from the University of Michigan. His long career with Detroit Public Schools began as a teacher at Jefferson Junior High, continued as a department head at Foch Junior High, assistant principal at Farwell Middle School and principal of Cleveland Middle School. He became director of HUB in 1989 and retired in 2000.
