About Colleen E. Ritzer Memorial Scholarship Fund:

Colleen Ritzer was a beloved Danvers High School math teacher and a lifelong resident of Andover. A 2007 graduate of Andover High School, she graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2011 from Assumption College with a bachelor of arts in Math and a concentration in Secondary Education and a minor in Psychology. Colleen, the oldest of three children, received tremendous support and encouragement from her large and loving extended family in her journey to teaching.

Colleen began teaching at Danvers High School in September of 2012 and through her passion for teaching and making a real impact in her student’s lives, quickly earned a reputation as a passionate and popular teacher. In honor of that passion and to create a lasting legacy, the Colleen E. Ritzer Memorial Scholarship was established by Colleen’s family to benefit Andover and Danvers High School seniors who demonstrate a passion for teaching, academic excellence, and love of family.
