Anne Crittendon Preston Collection

Anne Crittendon Preston was born on June 18, 1901 to John and Adele Crittendon in Petersburg, Virginia, where she received her elementary and high school education. She earned her bachelor’s degree in education from Virginia State University in 1932, and she earned her master’s degree in 1935 at Columbia University in New York. She was a member of Kappa Delta Pi Sorority. She also completed several courses at Temple University, the University of Denver, the University of Arizona, and the University of Minnesota. After accepting a position at PVAMU in September 1933, Preston made many worthwhile contributions to the field of teacher education. Ms. Preston worked with the Texas Department of Education on the revision of the rural school curriculum, and she also initiated the off-campus Student Teaching Program as early as 1938. By 1947, she had established twenty-five teacher training centers in Texas. She designed and implemented the standard curriculum for training elementary school teachers in the 1960s, and she also founded the Preston-Prunty Chapter of the Texas Student Education Association. Ms. Preston retired from PVAMU in 1967, and she died in Hempstead on October 14, 1980. Her remains were buried in Fairfield Cemetery in Denver, Colorado.You can also visit the PVAMU Faculty & Administrators Finding Aid PV Panther Project website https://pvpantherproject.com/project/anne-crittendon-preston-papers/
