Ms. Rubye McNeil taught English in the Stratford, CT, school system for 32 years and greatly inspired many. She was known for her creativity, leadership, and humanitarian service and made outstanding contributions to the Stratford School system. In addition, she was one of the first Black female teachers in Stratford, having taught in the town from the pre-Civil Rights era to her retirement in 1992.
Through collaboration with the Stratford Board of Education, Mayor Laura R. Hoydick, and the Town of Stratford, we now have The Rubye Kinlow McNeil English and Literature Wing at Stratford High School.
