Charles Eugene Beatty - Head Start UnSung Hero
The City of Ypsilanti Michigan may be known for its University or its Water Tower or its Greek Heritage, but in Early Childhood Education it is known for High Scope. Important to know, though, there would be no High Scope without one man – Charles Eugene Beatty – Principal of L.C. Perry Elementary School 1940 – 1970.

Mr. Beatty, called “Chief” by those who knew him best, was a champion in many ways that led ultimately to his leadership in the community and championship of education, Early Childhood Education and Head Start, specifically.
