Lee Gray Barnhart

Lee was born on August 2nd, 1953 in Sommerset, Pennsylvania. He was predeceased by his father, Eugene C. Barnhart, mother Geneva G. Barnhart and twin brother Gene Barnhart.

After many years in the construction field, Lee went back to school, attending Elizabeth City State University, where he earned his teaching degree.

Lee’s passion was math, but his love was seeing his students reach their potential.
