Trey Whitted (born May 15, 2003) is an American educator and public figure from Alexandria, Indiana.[1] He has worked at various cultural institutions and won numerous national awards for his work with children.[2]
Education
[edit]Terry Dee Whitted III, nicknamed Trey, excelled in school from an early age.[3] When reflecting on childhood, Whitted said that "providing children a space where they can explore opportunities for their future is one of the most meaningful ways to help guide the next generation."[4] Trey took this advice to heart through participation in multiple extracurricular activities throughout high school. For instance, he made history at the Indiana State Fair Band Day by helping bring the Alexandria Marching Tiger Band to the Sweet Sixteen.[5] In 2021, he graduated from Alexandria Monroe High School.
Following his high school education, Whitted majored in Language Arts Education at Anderson University in Anderson, Indiana where he continued to excel academically.[6] In addition to his work with local children, he served as the Senate Secretary for the Student Government Association.[7]
Career
[edit]Some of Whitted's most notable work has been the influence he has had on the elementary children in Anderson, Indiana. Whitted joined the program his freshman year and became president at a time when "the chapter had to be rebuilt from the ground up after Covid."[2] Two years later, in 2023, the chapter won Chapter of the Year, and Whitted was awarded Chapter Leader of the Year.
During his time working with the youth of Anderson, Whitted helped with efforts such as organizing a sock drive for people experiencing homelessness.[8] By his senior year, Whitted had been placed on College Mentors for Kids' National Board of Directors, where he serves as a Student Representative.[9]
Whitted has also worked in numerous museums. In 2023, he participated in Juneteenth Jamboree during his time at The Children's Museum of Indianapolis.[9] His advertising work has also been shown in publications such as the work he did for The Anderson Museum of Art in publications like The Herald Bulletin.[10]
