Andrea Neal

Ms. Andrea Neal teaches Grades 6 Language Arts and Grade 8 History at St. Richard’s Episcopal School.

Prior to becoming a teacher in 2003, she spent 22 years as a journalist working for the United Press International and the Indianapolis Star. In her view, both the journalism and teaching professions provide a refreshing blank slate of possibilities daily. Andrea recently published Road Trip: A Pocket History of Indiana which covered 100 historic places and events for Indiana's bicentennial. Andrea says, "There are certain things all Hoosiers should know about our past, and I wanted to do my part to tell those stories."

She attained a BA in History and Latin American Studies from Brown University and is an Indianapolis native. Aside from her teaching career, Andrea is also a member of the board of the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site. Andrea is the proud mother of two young men and enjoys spending time with them and being outdoors.
