EUGENE BECKER
For the Becker family, Woodside Priory stands
out for three reasons: the academic richness, depth of tradition and the strength of the community. Gene Becker is currently serving his first year as co-chairman
of the Woodside Priory Parent Association with his wife, Vick Vasilakos Becker. Their son, Dominic,
is a freshman and has been at the Priory since sixth grade. Dominic enjoys the challenge and flexibility of Priory academics; as a freshman, he is taking pre-calculus, which the Beckers feel would not be possible at most schools.
Gene was born in Upstate New York and has lived in the Bay Area for the last twenty-five years. He graduated from MIT with a BS in Electrical Engineering and followed that with graduate study in Computer Science at Stanford. Gene currently is a Research Program Director at HP Laboratories.
As a WPS trustee, Gene serves on the Mission and Community Relations committees, as well as the School Affairs subcommittee.
