Dr. Nancy Reeves Radcliffe is a retired educator with a lifelong passion for learning, Dr. Radcliffe has served as a teacher, principal, curriculum director, university professor, and consultant. Her career has touched countless lives, always guided by one powerful belief: that every child deserves the same high-quality education she would want for her own family.
Currently, Dr. Radcliffe serves as president of The Foundation for Autism Care, Education and Services, or F.A.C.E.S.—a nonprofit that has provided over three million dollars in scholarships for children with autism. She’s not only a leader, but a personal donor, advocate, and tireless fundraiser.
She also co-founded Voice for Public Schools, a grassroots initiative informing communities about public education and legislation, and serves on leadership boards in two school districts.
Her commitment extends beyond schools—through Wings Ministries, she mentored incarcerated women and continues to support their journey after release. She also helps award scholarships through the Daughters of Penelope Foundation and has been an active supporter of business and education through the Houston Northwest Chamber of Commerce.
Whether she’s mentoring new teachers or championing educational equity, Dr. Radcliffe leads with compassion, generosity, and deep purpose.
