Fred Teichert

Retired Executive Director, Teichert Foundation
Arden MS | El Camino HS

Dr. Fred Teichert was raised in Sacramento, attending San Juan Unified schools from seventh through twelfth grades. After earning degrees from Pomona College and Sacramento State—with honorary recognition from the CSU system—he built a career at A. Teichert & Son, and where he led the Teichert Foundation for many years.

Fred has played an active civic role as president of the Sacramento Region Community Foundation and on numerous public boards and initiatives. He credits San Juan educators with helping him find his footing—and his voice—through student leadership, math, language, and thought-provoking teachers who shaped his lifelong values of service and learning.
