Drew Curry ’76

“Pennington was a truly special place for me—three of the best years of my life,” says Drew Curry ’76, reflecting on his time at The Pennington School. His experience at the School was transformative, and the life lessons he gleaned from that time have stayed with him through the decades.

Curry, who recently retired from a successful career as vice president for Munich Reinsurance America, Inc., became a member of the Francis Harvey Green Society in 2016 when he made a bequest to Pennington in his will. “My planned gift is a way to ensure future generations have the same life-changing opportunities through education and athletics that I did.”

The Pennington School holds a special place in Curry’s heart—a place where he made lifelong friendships and received personal care and attention from his teachers and coaches. He recalls, “As someone who attended public school, I can attest that Pennington’s nurturing environment is very unique. Each student is recognized and appreciated as an individual.” Athletics were also a big part of his Pennington story. Curry proudly played as part of the varsity boys’ basketball 1975 championship team and became close friends with his teammate Jerry Eure ’75, Pennington’s director of athletics and head football coach.

As a member of the Francis Harvey Green Society, Curry feels a great sense of pride in making a provision in his will for Pennington to honor the important role the School played in his life and to help pay it forward for future generations of students and athletes.
